Chapter 368 Guo Zhengyu
Wang Xi is from the Guo family's hometown. After Guo Zhiyuan has been through the capital, Guo Zhiyuan is also willing to cultivate him and ask him to follow Li Jin to run a sea trade business. But he didn't know that this guy didn't grow up. After following Li Jin twice, he was dying. He said he was seasick, but in fact he was afraid of danger. Guo Zhiyuan had to let him go back to his side to do chores and take care of his daily life. Although Wang Xi had no talent, he was still diligent in his hands and feet. Sometimes he liked to play tricks and could also add some fun to Guo Zhiyuan in his busy official duties. He pretended to be angry and said, "Can you straighten your tongue and then talk to me? You can't even say something clearly, something that has not grown up!"
Now Guo Zhiyuan is in a high position and his majesty is getting deeper and he glared at Wang Xi and said stutteringly: "Young... Master, you... You know me... I'll stutter when I'm anxious and say... I'll stutter. This is a problem that I have since I was a child, and I can't change it!"
Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Wang Xi's appearance. He knew that he would be more and more confused when he scared him. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, if you can't change it, you can't change it. Tell me, who is here?..."
Wang Xi was relieved when he saw Guo Zhiyuan laughing. He spoke more smoothly. He danced excitedly and said, "It's the master, the master is here in Dongfan!"
"What?!" Guo Zhiyuan jumped up in surprise and grabbed Wang Xi and asked, "My father is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier!..."
Although Guo Zhiyuan had not been together with his cheap father Guo Zhengyu for a long time after traveling to this time and space, Guo Zhiyuan had already regarded Guo Zhengyu as his biological father. In the original historical time and space, Guo Zhengyu was imprisoned because he was implicated by the "demon book case". Although he was re-activated and acted as the Minister of Rites, he was involved in party struggles and was demoted again. Finally, he died in depression. In this life, although Guo Zhiyuan tried his best to change Guo Zhengyu's fate, he made him choose a different choice.
He was given the governor of Gansu, but the strong inertia of history still made Guo Zhengyu demoted during the Yisi Jingchai and returned to his hometown Jiangxia to retire. Guo Zhiyuan was worried that he would die of depression like the original history. After learning the news, he even sent several letters to Guo Zhengyu, urging Guo Zhengyu to come to Dongfan to relax and recuperate for a while, but Guo Zhengyu never agreed. Unexpectedly, Guo Zhengyu would come to Dongfan suddenly without even saying hello. How could Guo Zhiyuan not be surprised!
Wang Xi was pinched by Guo Zhiyuan and cried out in pain. Guo Zhiyuan then realized that he had lost his composure and let go and urged him repeatedly: "Where is my father? Take me there quickly!..."
Wang Xi shook it and Guo Zhiyuan pinched his wrists red, and said, "It's right in the backyard, the young grandma is accompanying you. I've been here for a long time. The master said you are busy with official business and won't let you tell me!"
Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about being confused with Wang Xi, so he ran to the backyard. At this time, Guo Zhengyu was sitting on a chair in the middle of the flower hall. Chu Wan'er sat down and accompanied him carefully. This was the first time Chu Wan'er saw her father-in-law. She was naturally nervous. She couldn't sit still, but at this time she had to act like a virtuous and kind little wife, and talked with her father-in-law seriously. Guo Zhengyu was also a serious person. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law were polite and had nothing to say. She stared at her big eyes and the atmosphere was really awkward. Chu Wan'er became more and more uncomfortable, and she almost scolded Guo Zhiyuan to death in her heart. She thought to herself, why didn't this damn Guo Zhiyuan come yet?
Just as he was thinking, Guo Zhiyuan ran in with a gust of wind. Chu Wan'er jumped off the chair in surprise, put her hands on her hips, pointed her slender finger at Guo Zhiyuan's forehead and said coquettishly: "You still know how to come back, do you want this family..." He remembered that his father-in-law was present at the middle of his speech. He looked like a virtuous daughter-in-law. He quickly put down his hand with a hip on his hip and said with a blushing face: "You'll be fine if you come back, I'll make tea for you..." After that, he ran away.
Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about the little daughter who was laughing at Chu Wan'er, and looked at Guo Zhengyu sitting on the chair. Guo Zhengyu was much older than Guo Zhiyuan when he was away from Jing. His temples were gray and his cheeks were thinner. Fortunately, his mental state looked pretty good. Guo Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly became wet, and he shouted "Dad!" and could no longer speak.
Guo Zhengyu was also a little excited when he saw Guo Zhiyuan. There was a light flashing in his eyes. However, he had always been relatively introverted. He nodded to Guo Zhiyuan and smiled with a smile on his lips: "Yuan'er, you have really grown up. I heard that the emperor has appointed you as the Lord of Dongfan. This is an unprecedented glory. You can also be regarded as the glorious ancestors of our Guo family. I am very pleased for my father. My father is old and can no longer serve the court. In the future, our Guo family will rely on you..."
Guo Zhiyuan heard the bleak meaning of Guo Zhengyu's words and said unjustly: "Dad, where are you old?! It is because the court is stupid and ignorant, so you don't need to let your talent be like you, and you will know that you will have party struggles. If you fight like this, you will sooner or later lose the Ming Dynasty!..."
When Guo Zhengyu heard this, he glared at him, patted the armrest of the chair and scolded Guo Zhiyuan angrily: "Nonsense! As a court official, you have been deeply favored by the emperor. You should be loyal to the country. How can you say such a traitor!..."
Guo Zhiyuan knew that he wanted to argue with someone like the noble father who was buried in his bones about this issue, which was simply a curse. He quickly changed the subject with a shy face: "Dad, why did you come suddenly? Don't tell me in advance, I can pick you up!"
Guo Zhengyu also felt that he was too strict with his son, and said in a slow tone: "Dad, don't worry about you. Don't look at your glory now. You were awarded the title of Dongfan Bo at a young age. But Mu Xiu was the Lin Feng and would urge him. Moreover, this career is dangerous. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed! I won't tell you, just because you are afraid that you will mobilize others and give them a handle..."
Feeling the rich father's deep love for him, Guo Zhiyuan became more and more moved, and at the same time he was secretly happy. Guo Zhengyu was known as one of the "three great wise men" in the world during the Wanli period. Historical books evaluated him as brave in responsibilities and had a general economic strategy. If he had not been implicated by the "demon book case" and became a victim of party struggles, his historical achievements would definitely be far more than that. If Guo Zhengyu could stay in Dongfan, it would have been too great to help him. He hurriedly climbed up the pole and said, "Dad, please stay. With you by my side, my son would not make any mistakes..."
Guo Zhengyu glanced at Guo Zhiyuan and hesitated for a moment, "Dad is old, and I can't mention anything else. Your path can only be your own. Besides, although my father has retired, there are still many people in the court staring at him. If my father stays in Dongfan and doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will cause more trouble..."
