The return of the son-in-law

Huo Yu was a little surprised by Guo Zhan'an's overreaction, but out of habit, he didn't think too much, and replied directly: "My father gave it to me, and I've been carrying it since I was a child." Huo Yu was a little surprised by Guo Zhan'an's overreaction , but out of habit, he didn't think too much, and replied directly: "My father gave it to me, and I have carried it since I was a child. "

Guo Zhanan stared at the jade pendant, wishing he could rush back to the capital immediately, snatch Li Shaojun's, and compare the two jade pendants.

Huo Yu finally realized that something was wrong, he asked cautiously: "Brother, don't you like it? Is this jade pendant too bad?"

Guo Zhan'an was afraid that Huo Yu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "I like this one very much, but this jade pendant is too expensive, it's better for you to wear it yourself."

Huo Yu refused, how could anyone get back what he sent out?What's more, this is a token of love that he mustered up the courage to give to Guo Zhan'an!

"Does brother hate me? I, Huo Yu, am a poor boy, nothing else. If brother doesn't accept this jade pendant, then accept my heart."

Guo Zhan'an stretched out his hand and slapped Huo Yu's buttocks, and said, "Is it because I dote on you too much recently? Can you say such words? Huh?"

After finishing speaking, Guo Zhanan also realized that he had gone too far, and took Huo Yu into his arms again, and said, "Then tell me, when did your father give you this thing, and where did you get it? Anyway, you should Make me feel at ease, don't you?"

Huo Yu shook his head and said, "I can't remember either. This jade pendant has been with me since as long as I can remember." Speaking of this, Huo Yu suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, could it be that my father snatched it?" Are you back?"

Guo Zhan'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and a small wave of complacency appeared in his heart.

Look, this is the person he cultivated, even his thoughts are similar to his own.

"Don't worry, your father loves you so much, why would he let you bring the stolen goods? Wouldn't it be bad luck for you?" Guo Zhan'an squeezed Huo Yu's waist twice, and comforted him, "Forget it, it doesn't matter how this thing came from. Important, what is important is that this is the token of love that our Yu'er gave me. Dear Yu'er, come and put it on for me."

Huo Yu was delighted in his heart, he responded, took the jade pendant, turned behind Guo Zhan'an, carefully hung the jade pendant around Guo Zhan'an's neck, and said: "Grandpa said, this jade pendant is very effective. I was not in good health when I was young. Thanks to this piece of warm jade, I can grow up safely."

What Huo Yu was talking about was that when he was a child, his health was not good, and he was always sick, thanks to the protection of this jade pendant.But what Guo Zhanan thought of was that in the great winter, Huo Yu, who was only a little over one year old, was thrown in the snow with only swaddling clothes wrapped around him, and only the warm jade hanging around his neck barely gave Huo Yu the warmth to survive.

Guo Zhanan felt distressed and angry at the same time.The distressed thing is that Huo Yu suffered innocently at such a young age, and he fell ill, and his bones and joints ached every time it was freezing cold; the angry thing was that the person who stole Huo Yu and threw it away was so mad that even a Babies are not spared.

Huo Yu simply hugged Guo Zhan'an from behind, and said with a smile: "Now, I have an older brother, and no one can bully me. So I let this jade pendant accompany my older brother when he is on duty, so that my older brother won't be punished again. I forgot to take a break from official duties."

Guo Zhanan turned his head to kiss Huo Yu: "I know you have no good intentions, little guy, are you going to ask this jade pendant to supervise me for you?"

Huo Yu admitted it generously: "I just want to supervise my brother, so that my brother will not eat two or three meals in a row when he gets busy, and then he will have a stomachache again."

Guo Zhanan simply hugged Huo Yu onto his lap, and leaned over to tease him with the tip of his nose.

Huo Yu smiled and dodged, but was defeated in the end. He put his hands on Guo Zhan'an's shoulders and leaned gently against Guo Zhan'an.

Guo Zhan was happy to enjoy the sweet tranquility and let Huo Yu hug him, while he put one hand on Huo Yu's waist and gently patted Huo Yu's back with the other.

Guo Zhan'an also thought of Li Chonghao's habit—every son, regardless of whether he was favored or not, would write the last letter of the son's name with his own hand. There is a word "Jun" on it.

Li Chonghao personally named Li Shaoyu on the third day after he was born, which shows how much he is favored.Does Huo Yu still have this paper?

He curled Huo Yu's broken hair with his fingers, and asked, "Yu'er, besides this jade pendant, has your father left you anything?"

Huo Yu untied the hanging kit, took out a piece of paper, and said, "There is still this piece of paper, but my father can't read, so it should be written by my mother."

Guo Zhanan took it, and the outside of the paper had turned yellow, obviously it was old.It's crunchy to the touch and seems to break easily.He opened the paper, and the inside of the paper was still white, with the word "Yu" written on it impressively.

Guo Zhanan didn't show it on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart.

At first, he thought that Huo Dashan got this jade pendant by accident.But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the possibility was too small.In addition, he remembered that when Yue An first met Huo Yu, he said that Huo Yu's profile looked like the late emperor at first glance, and with the word "Yu" as evidence, he could be sure that Huo Yu was probably Li Shaojun's younger brother. It is the most beloved sixth prince - Li Shaoyu.

It's also a trick of good fortune. Li Shaoyu disappeared strangely when he was more than one year old. He didn't expect to be taken in by the bandit leader. Later, he ran into him again, and in the end he became a pair with him.

Guo Zhan'an originally wanted to tell Huo Yu his life experience, but then he thought about it, the sixth prince was considered dead more than ten years ago, now that another sixth prince appeared, how many people would believe it?

Moreover, the relationship between Li Shaojun and Li Shaojin has become fierce. Guo Zhanan believes in Li Shaojun, but at the same time he also understands Li Shaojin.If Huo Yu's identity is recognized by Li Chonghao, according to Li Chonghao's character, it is not an exaggeration to spoil his favorite son when he returns to his side.What will Li Shaojin think and do then?

Guo Zhan'an didn't have to think too much to think that Huo Yu's every move at that time would be monitored, and he would have to face Li Shaojin's gang's schemes and schemes all day long.

It's not that he lacks confidence, it's just that Huo Yu is too important to him, there's nothing wrong with it.

He has already joined Li Shaojun's faction. As long as Li Shaojun does not become a great treasure, he will not be able to rest for a day.What if I accidentally hurt my Yu'er again?

Every time Guo Zhanan saw the unhealed wound on Huo Yu's body, he didn't dare to take the risk because he almost died twice because of himself.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhanan couldn't help hugging Huo Yu even tighter: "Yu'er, don't worry, I, Guo Zhanan, will definitely live up to you in this life."

Huo Yu only thought that Guo Zhan'an was moved by his true feelings, and then hugged Guo Zhan'an with his backhand, couldn't help rubbing his cheeks against him: "Brother, I believe in you."

On the second day, Guo Zhan rested in peace, Huo Yu ordered people to prepare food and drinks early on, and let everyone go to their own time, so they don't have to wait on the sidelines.

The two of them have been in Xuzhou for almost two months, and Guo Zhanan is busy with official duties all day long. Huo Yu dare not disturb him, and is also worried that Guo Zhanan will not get used to the sudden change of food.Therefore, the two of them have not even tasted the most famous roast venison in Xuzhou.

Today is different, Huo Yu got up early in the morning, dressed in joyful clothes, and before Guo Zhanan understood, he smiled and bowed to Guo Zhanan: "Huo Yu is celebrating his brother's birthday."

Guo Zhanan was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that today is his birthday.Since his biological mother passed away, he hadn't had a birthday celebration for more than ten years, and it was only now that Huo Yu started to remember that he would be nineteen years old after today.

Guo Zhanan only felt that the corners of his eyes were moist, and said with a smile: "You, where did you learn the rules? The birthday star is still lying on the bed, so you are in a hurry to celebrate his birthday?"

Huo Yu scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "I just wanted to be the first to celebrate my brother's birthday, but I forgot that my brother hasn't woken up yet. Come on, I'll wait for my brother to wake up."

As he said that, Huo Yu took the clothes hanging beside him, sat by the bed, and carefully tidied them up for Guo Zhanan.

After changing the inner clothes, Guo Zhanan got off the bed, Huo Yu was busy for a while, and finally squatted on the ground, picked up Guo Zhanan's shoes and was about to put them on.

Guo Zhan'an was taken aback, and said: "In the past, you just put it on for me, what is this?"

Huo Yu blushed, and said, "I heard from Master Wu Xin that every wife should do this."

Guo Zhanan was moved, pulled Huo Yu up, hugged him in his arms, and said, "You don't have to do this for me, I will do it myself." At the end, he was worried that Huo Yu might misunderstand, so he added, "You and I Do you still need these empty etiquettes? In my heart, you, Huo Yu, are the one I will join hands with in this life."

Huo Yu nodded, couldn't help leaning against Guo Zhanan, and said, "Brother, you are so kind."

Guo Zhan'an smiled and blew into Huo Yu's ear, and said, "You know me now? When will I let you know how good I am?"

If it's in the study instead, forget it.Bedding is next to it, how could Huo Yu not know the meaning of Guo Zhanan's words?As soon as he met Guo Zhan'an, his face became extremely thin, and he completely lost the energy he used to face the servants of the Guo family, so he could only keep begging for mercy: "Brother, I'm still young."

"I know you're young," Guo Zhanan felt satisfied when he saw that Huo Yu was blushing with shame, but still trying to answer his words, and couldn't help teasing him for a while.It was also a coincidence that Guo Zhan'an had just been woken up by Huo Yu at this moment, and he was still a little confused, as if he had eaten three bowls of yellow soup, and he uttered all the obscene words that he dared not say on weekdays.

He simply held Huo Yu's hand, asked him to touch his swelling, and asked, "Then tell me, when will you grow up and be able to bear me?"

Huo Yu was so frightened that his whole body became stiff, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Guo Zhanan grabbed his wrist.It's not like he would resist Guo Zhan'an, so he could only let Guo Zhan'an grab his hand and stick it on the hot raised place, begging for mercy: "Brother, brother, let me go, just, wait until I'm 16 years old, then I'll grow up by then."

Guo Zhan'an laughed, let go of Huo Yu's hand, kissed Huo Yu loudly on the forehead, and said, "Then it's settled, when you turn sixteen, you'll really be mine."

The three words "my person" are too lingering. Although Huo Yu was shy, he chewed these three words carefully, his heart beating fast, and he couldn't help leaning his head on Guo Zhan'an, and said in a low voice: " He's already my brother's."

Since today is Guo Zhanan's birthday, longevity noodles are naturally inevitable.Huo Yu did the cooking himself, and a bowl of hot longevity noodles was served on the table.

Although compared with other dishes, the longevity noodles with only green vegetables, sliced ​​meat and a poached egg are too vegetarian, but Guo Zhanan ate happily.Not long after, a bowl of longevity noodles was eaten.

Many servants of the Guo family came to celebrate Guo Zhanan's birthday one by one. Huo Yu smiled more proudly than the birthday star, and listened carefully to the words of the birthday celebrations.Whenever he heard of ingenuity and good meaning, Huo Yu asked Jia Huan to write down the names of these people, and ordered the accountant to pay these people two more months' money.

After all this was over, Huo Yu went out with Guo Zhanan again, and the two of them came to the temple in the mountains outside Xuzhou City and lit an ever-burning lantern.

Looking at Huo Yu who was piously making a wish, Guo Zhanan barely restrained the impulse in his heart until he got out of the temple and got into the carriage, then pulled Huo Yu into his arms and kissed his brow and eyes tenderly.

Back at Guo Mansion, it was already dusk.Some of the servants obeyed Huo Yu's arrangement and put all kinds of tools and ingredients for barbecue in the pavilion in the backyard.

The deer was bought a few days ago and raised in the yard for another two days. It was slaughtered early this morning, sliced ​​thinly, and marinated in a special sauce for half a day.In addition, the kitchen also specially prepared fish and shrimp that are rare in Northwest China. Although they are not big in size, they are fresh and rare, which is very attractive.There is also the plum wine purchased last month, the wine is not particularly strong, and Huo Yu can drink a couple of sips.

Huo Yu did it a lot when he was in Tiger Village. He skillfully rolled up his sleeves, picked up a piece of venison from the pot with a tong, and placed it on the barbed wire.There was only a sizzling sound from the barbed wire, followed by a small puff of white smoke, the juice fell into the charcoal, and sparks burst out.

Guo Zhanan was worried that Huo Yu would be splashed, so he went to replace Huo Yu.The latter shook his head and said with a smile: "My brother is the birthday star today, how can I let the birthday master do these things? Don't worry, brother, these sparks will not hurt me. I used to roast it directly next to the fire." Rabbits are eating it."

Guo Zhan'an had no choice but to let Huo Yu work like a spinning top.I keep flipping and roasting various meat and vegetables in my hands, and I keep talking to Guo Zhan'an. It's all about how to arrange the study, what flowers should be added in the garden, and the wardrobe in the bedroom is a bit old. A new wardrobe is coming.

If others listened to these words, they would definitely feel that Huo Yu had nothing to say and made a fuss out of a molehill, but Guo Zhan'an listened with great interest—he could see the future life of the two in Huo Yu's words.

"It's done, look at you, your eyes look at me for a while, and the meat for a while, aren't you tired?" Guo Zhan'an reached out to wipe the sweat off Huo Yu's face, and laughed at him, "My dear Yu'er, why don't you Take a break."

As he spoke, Guo Zhanan picked up the chopsticks, took some from the mountains of plates in front of him, and brought them to Huo Yu's mouth: "Be obedient, open your mouth."

Huo Yu lowered his eyelids and ate obediently.

At this moment, Jia Huan came in a hurry, and without any other consideration, after saluting to his two masters, he leaned over to Guo Zhan'an and whispered something.

Guo Zhan'an's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and said to Huo Yu: "Someone from the yamen came to see me, probably they can't make up their minds without me, so I'll go and have a look first. Yu'er, eat by yourself first, only a little, and you are not allowed to drink. "

Although Huo Yu was a bit reluctant, he still complied, and replied, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely drink with my brother when he comes."

Guo Zhan'an just got up and went to the front with Jia Huan.

It was Hao Yun who came, and he looked flustered. Seeing Guo Zhanan coming, he hurried forward to report: "My lord, the prison boss Lao Cai has confessed!"

Guo Zhanan wondered: "Why are you panicking when he confesses?"

Hao Yun hurriedly said: "My lord, that old Cai is clearly framing you! I heard that that old Cai confessed to several adults in the capital, saying that you went to the prison to kill Shi Guogan! It was for this Zhizhou position!"

Guo Zhan'an didn't believe it: "They interrogated Lao Cai, how could they let you know?"

The implication is clearly to suspect that Hao Yun was plotted by others and heard false rumors.

Hao Yun hurriedly confessed: "To tell you the truth, my lord, when those adults in the capital interrogated the jailer, they borrowed the servants of the government. One of them was a brother who entered the government office on the same day as me. He told me himself. He knew that I was an adult. His subordinates, he himself was highly appreciated by the adults, so he was able to be promoted, so he specially tipped the news to let the adults make plans early."

Hao Yun is now on the same boat as him, and Guo Zhan'an does not doubt that Hao Yun will deliberately reveal false news to him.He frowned slightly: "I have no grievances or enmity with him, he framed me, I'm afraid he was instructed by someone."

Hao Yun hurriedly said: "My lord, now we need to find a way to prove your innocence!"

Guo Zhanan nodded and said, "I see, thanks to you notifying me, you go back first, I have my own way."

However, before Guo Zhan'an could figure out a way, a group of people came to Guo's residence in the middle of the night, and Huang Mingli was the leader.He looked at Guo Zhanan, who was wearing only a coat and barefoot shoes, and said with a half-hearted smile: "Master Guo, Mr. Huang has offended you."
