The return of the son-in-law

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Guo Zhan'an is the young master of Guo's mansion, Huo Yu is a guest and Guo Zhan'an's brother-in-law, they are all distinguished persons in Guo's mansion.What Qiu Ju said, anyone with a discerning eye could see Liu Pianpian's intentions.

It's just that Guo Zhan'an didn't speak, but kept a smiling face and looked at Liu Pianpian; Huo Yu didn't speak, and lowered his head and stroked the box with his hands.

Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds not to answer, Liu Pianpian could only continue to sing along with Qiu Ju: "What about you two, one I watched grow up, and since the other is Zhan An's foster brother, then I also I can believe it. But, you are probably young, and you don’t know how those people are deceiving you. Some people are just cheating on the inside and stealing from the outside, and you may have done something behind your back."

Guo Zhanan nodded and said: "My wife is right. I remember that when I was a child, there were a few servant girls who were like this. At that time, I was young, and those servant girls were rewarded by my wife. I have no choice but to watch them take my pocket money at will. Now that I think about it, isn’t this a big bully? But don’t worry, my wife, if there are such servants who eat inside and outside, they will be exposed sooner or later. My wife still remembers What? Those maids and servants made a big mistake later, and were taken to sell by Ren Yazi, and I heard that some of them were sold to the coal mine."

Liu Pianpian only felt that her skin was hurting, but she couldn't tear her face, so she could only forcefully smile and said: "Since Zhan An is so sensible, then I can rest assured. But, don't worry, I know that no one else can search your house. No, I happen to be here, how about I go check and check?"

"How?" Guo Zhan'an raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled angrily, "Madam, is this giving me a choice? If I let you search my house, tell me how to behave if it spreads out?"

Liu Pianpian felt happy in her heart, but she was puzzled on her face: "What do you mean by 'how to be a man'? Zhan'an, if you were a boudoir lady, then I wouldn't go there. But you are a big man, and you are Xuzhou Tongju, why are you so coy? Didn't I say that I don't doubt you, but those people under your hands always want to investigate. Maybe they just saw this and stole Fengchai in your What about inside the house? Oh, maybe it's inside Huo Yu's house?"

As Liu Pianpian was talking, seeing Guo Zhan'an's cold face and refusing to speak, she thought he was afraid, so she stepped up and continued, "This phoenix hairpin is a gift from Concubine Liu. If you can't find it, I'm afraid it's not you and I can find it." I can bear it. To put it bluntly, there is no queen in this harem, so Concubine Liu is the most respected. Zhan An, I am doing it for your own good. You must not offend Concubine Liu. Otherwise , she blows some pillow breeze, I don't know if you will go back to be the Ninth Grade Sesame Officer, haha."

Huo Yu listened from the sidelines, his brows were raised upright, he was about to speak back when he heard Guo Zhanan say: "In that case, then let me stay with my wife."

Huo Yu was in shock and looked at Guo Zhan'an suspiciously. He was relieved when Guo Zhan'an took the opportunity of bowing his head to cast a knowing look at him.

Huo Yu understood, Guo Zhan'an was not afraid, but set up some kind of trap, waiting for Liu Pianpian to sneak into it.

However, if Liu Pianpian is a little quieter, don't be arrogant just because her cousin is a concubine in the harem, and she won't be taught by Guo Zhan'an several times.

Thinking of this, Huo Yu felt a lot more relaxed, so he followed Guo Zhan'an and others to the main house.

With Guo Zhan'an around, Liu Pianpian couldn't be a monster. She wanted to throw the phoenix hairpin in her sleeve under the bed or the cabinet two or three times, but Guo Zhan'an's scrutinizing gaze behind her made her feel like a light on her back, and she didn't dare to say anything more. move.

Naturally, there were no phoenix hairpins in Guo Zhanan’s room, but seeing the decorations there, Liu Pianpian’s heart was converted into real money, and she was heartbroken again. All the dowry is in his pocket.Now these priceless picture scrolls, vases, potted plants and other treasures are invisible, Liu Pianpian feels that she doesn't need to sleep tonight.

"Zhan'an," Liu Pianpian continued to play with the small white jade potted plant, and said, "Where is your brother-in-law's house? Only his house is left."

Guo Zhan'an rebuffed, "Huo Yu is a guest, how can there be any reason to search the guest's house?"

"Where is this an outsider? This Huo Yu is your adopted brother. Speaking of which, don't you still call me 'mother-in-law'? Hehe. Zhan'an, I have searched all other places, even your house. None of them are left behind, so Huo Yu can’t be the only exception, can’t he? Otherwise, what kind of words will be spread by the people below, how bad will the impact be?”

Guo Zhan'an looked at Liu Pianpian and asked, "I remember my wife said that it would be a disaster to keep those servants who gossip everywhere. It's better to call Ren Yazi to sell them all. A few days ago, didn't my wife send a lot of people away?" If you go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, will you sell it after the Chinese New Year?"

Liu Pianpian scolded Guo Zhanan angrily in her heart, those people were restless, if they wanted to seduce her son, they would naturally send them away.This Huo Yu didn't know where he came from, so what qualifications did he have to be compared with his precious son!

"Zhan'an, I'm really doing it for your own good, especially Huo Yu. I know that I blamed him at the beginning, but now I can't make such a mistake again. Only his house is not allowed to be searched, it's not clear Do people suspect him? Besides, as long as it is a human being, I can't control this mouth. Although I can sell those talkatives afterwards, the reputation of your righteous brother will also be ruined. Now, even you will be implicated."

Guo Zhanan nodded suddenly, and said: "My wife is right. If you are an official, your reputation will be bad, and your official career will come to an end. In this case, Yu'er, take your wife to your house."

Huo Yu responded and said to Liu Pianpian, "Madam Guo please."

With Guo Zhanan around, Liu Pianpian also found nothing in Huo Yu's room.But to Huo Yu's surprise, Liu Pianpian was in a very good mood, she even smiled sincerely for the first time today: "It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it, now I feel relieved."

Guo Zhan'an just smiled in response, and personally sent Liu Pianpian out of the yard.

"Go back to the study," Guo Zhan'an said coldly when Liu Pianpian's people walked away, "Since she's focused on us, there's no need to save face for her."

Huo Yu was puzzled: "Brother, didn't you find Fengchai? Didn't her plan come to naught?"

"Where did it fail?" Guo Zhan'an said as he walked to the study with Huo Yu, "Do you believe her and think Fengchai is lost?"

Huo Yu was stunned: "Could this still be a lie? Isn't that something bestowed by the palace? No matter how courageous she is, can she make fun of this?"

"The concubine Liu is her cousin, and she came out of the palace on the front foot, and the phoenix hairpin on the back foot was gone. It was obvious that she was uneasy and kind, and she might have colluded with Concubine Liu." Guo Zhanan entered the study, and let the following follow. Fuquan stepped forward to polish the ink, while he opened a blank booklet, thinking about how to word it.

Seeing this, Huo Yu hurriedly asked, "Is my brother going to tell the emperor about this?"

Guo Zhanan nodded and said, "I guess the phoenix hairpin is still in her locked box or cabinet, or even in her sleeve today."

Huo Yu was startled: "Is she, is she trying to take this opportunity to frame brother!"

Guo Zhanan nodded and said: "Even if I stared at Yan this time and didn't let her find a chance, she can still go out and say that she deliberately pretended not to find it in order to save me some face."

"..." Huo Yu has seen Liu Pianpian's acrimonious, money-greedy and stingy appearance these days, so now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that Liu Pianpian is really capable of doing this.

"The elder brother is going to beat Liu Pianpian and write a book for the emperor?" Huo Yu was so angry that he even changed his usual "Mrs. Guo" to his first name, which was enough to show that he was really angry.

Guo Zhanan nodded and said: "That's right, as long as the emperor believes in me, the stronger the rumors outside, the better for me. I haven't been in the capital for a long time, and I can't nag and explain this matter when I see someone. Can't compare to her. Didn't our Mrs. Guo say that now the throne is vacant, and the harem is respected by Concubine Liu. The phoenix hairpin bestowed by Concubine Liu is missing, that is a serious crime involving countless people. I am just a How can the little Xuzhou Tongju compare with the honorable Concubine Liu? I'm afraid not only me, but even my father will be implicated."

Huo Yu saw that Guo Zhanan wrote with spirit, and he didn't know whether he should be thankful for his brother's cleverness and dexterity, or whether he should burn three sticks of incense for Liu Pianpian.

From the 27th of the New Year, the emperor sealed the pen for ten days.During these ten days, unless there is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, the emperor will completely abandon his official duties and enjoy the beautiful days of not having to go to court in comfort.

Guo Zhan'an knew this, so after finishing the scripture, he had someone send it to Prince Qin's Mansion.

Li Shaojun read the brochure and listened to the story of the errand boy, nodded seriously and said: "I understand. Concubine Liu has a noble status, and it is a serious crime to lose the phoenix hairpin she gave her. That's all, me and Your young master has a deep friendship, this matter was originally caused by Guo Liushi's improper custody, and has nothing to do with him. When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will definitely hand over this note for your young master."

The little servant hurriedly thanked him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his young master deserved to be studying in the palace with the King of Qin. Looking at his temper and way of speaking, he couldn't find any faults, and he made it clear that he wanted to rectify the situation. Make trouble.

Besides, in the palace, Li Chonghao read Guo Zhanan's book, and couldn't help laughing: "Your partner has been studying for two years, why are you still so timid? It's just a phoenix hairpin. If you don't see it, you will disappear."

Li Shaojun naturally wanted to speak for Guo Zhan'an: "I heard from the person who delivered the booklet that it was Guo Zhan'an's stepmother who couldn't find the Fengchai and cried and cried, 'If there is no Fengchai, how should I explain to Concubine Liu' In this case, Guo Zhanan couldn't bear the worry of his stepmother, so he wrote this note, and hoped that his father would forgive them this time because the Guo family didn't mean it."

What Li Chonghao enjoys the most is the fear of others towards him, seeing that the Guo family is just crying because a phoenix hairpin bestowed by his concubine is missing, it is very rewarding: "He is a good-natured person. Alright, since you have the heart, let's take it lightly. Calling Guo Liu into the palace and letting Concubine Liu reprimand him is a small punishment and a big punishment."

Li Shaojun said again: "This phoenix hairpin was given by Concubine Liu. If Concubine Liu reprimands you, if it is serious, some people may say that Concubine Liu has a personal grudge; if it is light, some people may say that Concubine Liu is protecting her cousin. Father, How about someone else?"

"Oh?" The turbidity in Li Chonghao's eyes dissipated a lot, and he looked at Li Shaojun, "Do you have a suitable candidate in your mind to replace Concubine Liu and admonish Guo Liushi?"

Li Shaojun did not back down, looked at Li Chonghao, and said, "Grandmother is old, there is no need to trouble her for such a trivial matter. My son knows very little about the affairs of the harem, and it is not my turn to deal with this woman's affairs." Tell me what to do, and everything will be arranged by my father. There is only one thing, don't make grandma too tired."

"You are filial." Li Chonghao was very satisfied with Li Shaojun's answer.

He originally thought that Li Shaojun was going to propose that the queen mother admonish Guo Liushi, so as to take the opportunity to suppress Concubine Liu and Li Shaojin.Unexpectedly, Li Shaojun was so savvy. It seemed that this troubled third son had finally grown up and understood who gave him the title of King Qin.

Although it is not as good as Li Shaojin seeking medical treatment everywhere for him, and finally found Anshenxiang from the Western Regions, it is rare for Li Chonghao to feel that his three sons are like human beings.

Li Shaojun sighed, and said: "Father also knows that Guo Zhanan's biological mother passed away when he was young, and his grandfather's family has long since disappeared. To be honest, the sixth brother and his mother passed away one after another. I feel that the world is so big, and it is only my illusion. Now that I have grown up, I realize that it is all hopeless. Guo Zhanan’s experience is similar to mine. We were both too stubborn when we were young, and we always liked to blame our own misfortunes and sorrows. to others. In fact, all of this is predestined."

Li Chonghao saw that his stubborn and habitual third son seemed to be taking this opportunity to reflect on what he had done over the years, showing his intention to change his past, and said, "The prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. How old are you, can you figure this out?" One level is good. However, since you understand this truth today, you will never be the same in the future."

"Father, don't worry, my son understands." Li Shaojun bowed deeply to Li Chonghao, the smile on his face could hardly stop.
