Chapter 143 Entering a new house
He paused for a while and continued, "But if all my previous efforts were wasted and destroyed as soon as I fell, what would I have to do with the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty? Guo Rong Yi Envoy, this time you are the first to be the masters, followed by Doctor Ma, and everyone is the reward. Do you deserve the reward? "Guo Rong did not want any reward, but he looked at Ma Jing and saw that she was looking forward to it, immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, the lower-ranking official has no desires or requests, but the sister has something to ask for, I hope the master will fulfill it." After hearing this, Ma Jing seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately became shy.
Zhang Juzheng asked, "Who is the sister of Yizhi Ling? This is the first time I heard that you have a sister." Guo Rong pointed at Ma Jing and said, "This is the sister of the lower-ranking officials." Zhang Juzheng said, "Haha, it turns out to be Miss Ma. I wonder what Miss Ma's wishes?" Ma Jing felt embarrassed and lowered her head and didn't speak, waiting for Guo Rong to help her speak. Guo Rong said, "My Lord Zhang, the sister's wish is actually very simple. She just wants to meet the emperor, and she has no other requests." Zhang Juzheng looked at Ma Jing, thought a little in his heart, and smiled faintly: "Miss Ma is so lucky. She has a big brother who loves you so much and a grandfather who has a wonderful hand. You should know that it is good. Hahaha!"
Then, Zhang Juzheng asked Ma Shan what he wanted. Ma Shan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, the people of grass have no desires and no desires. I just hope that I and my granddaughter can return to the mountains and forests and be a free and free villager in the mountains." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Doctor Ma's wonderful hands are rejuvenated. Isn't it burying medical skills in living in the mountains? The ancients said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Doctor Ma should take the people of the world as their hearts, and it is best to save people from birth." So, Zhang Juzheng temporarily stayed at Ma Shan to observe his condition in the mansion.
The next day, Guo Rong woke up and after practicing for a while, he felt bored and sat under the eaves in a daze. He remembered many people, from Zeng Ling to Hong Chuchu, and finally to Ma Jing. Now she lives in the Zhang Mansion with her grandfather. They each have their own beauty and each place that Guo Rong missed. But what Guo Rong missed the most was Zeng Ling. But looking at himself, he was still alone now, and there was not even a person who could speak to relieve his boredom. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.
At this moment, someone suddenly came out, and it was He Lewei. She accompanied Li Minxing to recuperate at Guo Rong's house. Guo Rong asked, "Le'er, is it good, Senior Brother?" He Lewei smiled and said, "Brother Min is very good. Brother Guo, why are you alone in a daze here?" Guo Rong smiled awkwardly and said, "I just finished practicing martial arts and just rest here." He Lewei saw his thoughts and said, "Brother Guo, are you thinking of Miss Zeng? Have you ever found her? Do you know where she is?"
Guo Rong said, "I have looked for it, but I don't know where, how can I find it?" He Lewei smiled and said, "Then is there someone else in your heart?" Guo Rong said, "Brother Guo has liked Ling Mei in this life, so how can there be another person?" He Lewei said, "Isn't it Miss Ma? Miss Ma is so smart and smart, and is a girl with true temperament. Do you don't like her?" Guo Rong shook his head and denied it, nodded and admitted it, but seemed embarrassed.
It is fake to say that Guo Rong doesn't like Ma Jing in his heart, just like he does to Hong Chuchu. It's not that he doesn't like it, but that he can't like it. Guo Rong smiled bitterly and said, "I like it, but I can't like it. Because, the elder brother can only pretend to be someone in his heart." He Lewei saw that he said so firmly, not like lying casually, and said, "Since that's the case, why don't the elder brother go to find Miss Zeng? Maybe she is waiting for you to find her somewhere." Guo Rong said, "Actually, the elder brother doesn't think so. But the sea of people is vast, where is she?" He Lewei said, "God has his own arrangements. As long as you go and find her, you will naturally meet her." Guo Rong said, "Yes, Le'er, you woke me up as a dreamer. I'll go to find Lingmei, the ends of the world, and come back."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a "ah" and someone came in. It was Zhang Jianxiu. After entering, he asked, "Miss He, how is Li Daxia's injury?" He Lewei said, "Thank you for your care. Brother Min can no longer feel the pain in his legs. He is in a good mood. He hopes to be able to walk as fast as before." Zhang Jianxiu looked at Guo Rong and said, "It's so great. Brother Rong, why do you see you in a daze and absent-minded manner?" Guo Rong said awkwardly: "Mr. Zhang, you have nothing to do with me, maybe because you are too tired."
Zhang Jianxiu said: "Since you are tired, take a good rest, and you can take the opportunity to recover your skills. Isn't that arranging you to do a good job?" Guo Rong looked at him in shock and asked, "What are the arrangements for Lord Zhang?" Zhang Jianxiu said: "The four guards of Suzhou, Ganzhou, Yongchang and Liangzhou have suffered heavy snow this year. Local officials jointly wrote a letter to ask the court to allocate disaster relief funds. My father originally wanted to ask the official to go to understand the people's situation, but the affairs in the court were busy and it was difficult to get out. Therefore, he thought that you could leave for me. Don't shirk it!"
After hearing this, Guo Rong thought that although this thing was not a bad thing, it was at least easier than going out to perform murder missions. Moreover, he was willing to do such a thing when he was able to petition for the people, so he agreed. Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Jianxiu was overjoyed and said, "Okay, then you prepare for something and set off for a long time." Soon, Zhang Jianxiu went back.
Guo Rong and He Lewei went into the house to tell Li Minxing what Zhang Jianxiu arranged. After hearing this, Li Minxing said lightly: "Fourth Junior Brother, according to the senior brother, it is Lord Zhang who wants you to be an official and no longer be a killer of the court." Guo Rong asked in surprise: "Senior Brother, do you take this seriously?" Li Minxing said: "This is a good thing. Are you not tired of the killer yet?" Guo Rong said: "It is indeed boring, but how can you know the way to be an official?" Li Minxing said: "Being an official is the same as being a human being, nothing
It's hard. Besides, you can't be a killer all your life. Being an official is good, our three brothers and sisters will have to rely on you in the future." As he said, he couldn't help laughing. Guo Rong said awkwardly: "Brother, the second brother and sister don't know where they are now. If we can reunite, it would be great. We will be happy whether we are an official or not." Li Minxing said: "Don't worry about them, we are not three-year-old children. When you become an official, you will raise your arms and shout, won't they all come to surrender to you?"
Guo Rong smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to tell jokes." Li Minxing said, "Many times I have something in my heart, but I just don't want to say it." Guo Rong said, "Senior Brother, then you and Le'er are here to recover from the injury. If you don't see me back after the injury is healed, you can go to Lai Villa for a walk." Li Minxing asked in surprise: "Where is Qianlai Villa?" Guo Rong said, "The owner of Qianlai Villa is called Qianlai Villa owner, and his wife Qianlai blindly
Women, they care about their junior brother very much, but there is strangeness everywhere. The eldest brother can go and find out what kind of place it is." Li Minxing asked the direction clearly, Guo Rong told him, and said, "Don't go to Tiandi Manor, as it is full of dangers. When one day, the four brothers of our junior brothers gather together, we will go and try together. It is also to get rid of the thorns in the heart of the emperor." Li Minxing asked about Tiandi Manor again, and Guo Rong also told him.
After hearing this, Li Minxing said, "I didn't expect there were so many strange places. The Fourth Junior Brother, it seems that the Jinyiwei is not that easy to do." Guo Rong smiled and said, "The Jinyiwei is not a simple killer. To protect the safety of the royal family and the important officials of the dynasty, and to eliminate the enemy, it is far from a simple killer." Li Minxing said, "Fourth Junior Brother, during this long trip, you might as well inquire about the whereabouts of the second junior brother and sister. The eldest senior brother has not seen them for many days and misses them very much." Guo Rong said, "Okay, the junior brother is always asking about their news, but he has never found anything. However, the place where he went this time is far northwest, and they may not necessarily go to those places." Li Minxing said, "You may hear their news on the way. After all, people like your second senior brother and sister will not be ordinary anywhere." Guo Rong murmured, "I hope I can hear their news."
In the evening, Ma Jing came to look for Guo Rong. She asked Guo Rong to accompany her to the capital to see. Guo Rong agreed readily. So the two of them took the carriage she drove on the street. At night in the capital, the streets were still very lively and crowded. When Ma Jing saw it, she was extremely happy. She pointed to this question and then to that question, as if she had never seen anything. This was the first time that Guo Rong both patiently explained it one by one. Sometimes she looked at her sideways, and her heart was
I thought: A beautiful woman who grew up in the mountains and forests is easily lost in this bustling city. He always wanted to say something, but when he saw her innocent expression, her eyes wide open, her innocent words in her pitcher, and her beauty as if she was blooming, she dared not break the beauty and happiness at this time. Of course, Ma Jing did not notice Guo Rong's thoughts, but only focused on watching the dazzling night view and commenting on the pedestrians who were talking about it.
Suddenly, he saw a huge gold shop. Guo Rong took her out of the carriage and went into the shop to see. Looking at the shining gold jewelry all over the shop, Ma Jing smiled so hard that she couldn't stop and wanted to reach out to touch everyone she saw. Guo Rong picked up a pair of jade bracelets, but saw that the jade was crystal clear and green in white, and handed it to Ma Jing. Ma Jing took it over and checked it out and said, "Brother Guo, it's so beautiful!" Guo Rong gently put it on her wrist, and her white skin was embellished with jade, which was very eye-catching. Then, Guo Rong chose another pair of earrings and a gold necklace for her. Ma Jing, who was already beautiful, looked even more noble. Seeing himself through the bronze mirror, Ma Jing was blooming happily. So Guo Rong handed over a stack of treasure money to buy all the jewelry Ma Jing wore.
The next day, Zhang Jianxiu came to Guo Rong's mansion again and said, "Brother Rong, Fourth Brother will take you to a place to see." Guo Rong asked in surprise: "Sir Zhang, why do you call yourself 'Fourth Brother'? This will ruin your subordinates!" Zhang Jianxiu said, "We will call each other brothers in the future. Isn't this good?" Guo Rong actually didn't care about official titles, so he was naturally willing to call each other as brothers, so he agreed. Then, Zhang Jianxiu said, "Let's go, Fourth Brother will take you to a place to see." As he said that, he took his hand on the carriage and galloped away.
After a while, he came to a mansion in the west of the city, with a red painted gate, a red tiles and green walls. It was a brand new manor. After passing by the gate, Guo Rong found that the red silk was covering the lintel, so he couldn't see whose mansion was. The carriage walked around the gate and entered through the side door. Guo Rong asked in shock: "Fourth brother, where is this? Why are you coming here?" Zhang Jianxiu smiled and said, "You will know later." After the carriage entered, he stopped at the horse house and the two got out. Zhang Jianxiu took Guo Rong to check the entire mansion.
Although this mansion is not very big, there are pavilions and towers, and they are elegant and interesting, layered with green layers, and they have a unique flavor. When I came to the main hall, I saw a piece of red silk covering the wall in the middle, and I wonder what it was to block. Guo Rong asked, "Fourth brother, what is the use of this mansion?" Zhang Jianxiu said, "Brother Rong, what do you think here?" Guo Rong wondered, and murmured, "It's good, but unfortunately it's too deserted, and no one lives there, and the master did not come out to entertain us." Zhang Jianxiu smiled and said, "Someone will live here soon. If you are the one living here, what do you think?" Guo Rong was even more puzzled: "How could it be my younger brother? How can I have this blessing?" Zhang Jianxiu smiled and said, "That may not be!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "The imperial edict is here!" Guo Rong was shocked and looked at Zhang Jianxiu, but heard him say, "Why not kneel down and accept the edict!" Guo Rong and he immediately knelt down and received the edict. At this time, an eunuch came in from outside the door and said happily: "Congratulations to General Guo, congratulations to General Guo!" Guo Rong looked confused, wondering if the "General Guo" in the father-in-law's mouth was himself, so he asked, "Dude, you are the official, what's the matter
Congratulations?" Zhang Jianxiu said: "Eunuch Zhao, please read the imperial edict." Eunuch Zhao opened the imperial edict in his hand and read it out: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The Jinyiwei Yi envoy Guo Rong was a meritorious in his treatment of the chief minister. He specially gave a mansion, a sword of 'Shangyi', and was granted the title of 'Shangyi General'. He was grateful for his loyalty and righteousness, and also a talented person. He specially gave Princess Zhaoyi to get married together. After returning to Beijing from the Shaanxi Four Guards, he chose a date to get married! I admire this!"
Guo Rong's head was like a "boom" explosion, completely unaware of it, and was stunned. Zhang Jianxiu hurriedly touched him a few times and whispered: "Fourth brother, why don't you thank me!" Guo Rong was still stunned. Eunuch Zhao asked in surprise: "General Guo, the emperor is very kind to you, do you dare to disobey the imperial edict?" Zhang Jianxiu kowtowed immediately and said: "General Guo was excited and lost his mind. I hope my emperor forgives me!" Then, poked his vest a few more times and entered his internal strength. Guo Rong suddenly woke up. Zhang Jianxiu said: "Fourth brother, kowtow, kowtow!" Guo Rong kowtowed in confusion.
Eunuch Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations to General Guo, and congratulations to General Guo! This mansion is granted by the emperor and will be General Guo's home from now on. Hahaha, I will return to the palace to report my life!" As he said that, he said goodbye to the two and returned to the palace and left. But Guo Rong was still stunned. Zhang Jianxiu hurriedly helped him up, and the two sat aside. Zhang Jianxiu asked in surprise, "Fourth brother, what's going on? Why are you suddenly becoming stupid?" Zhang Jianxiu asked a few times, and Guo Rong murmured, "Why the emperor
The emperor is so kind to me?" Suddenly, he understood: All of this was arranged by Zhang Juzheng! It was just a guise of the emperor's imperial edict! He turned to look at Zhang Jianxiu and asked, "Fourth brother, why did Lord Lingzun treat me so much?" Seeing his reproachful expression, Zhang Jianxiu asked blankly: "How come my father is sorry for you?" Guo Rong continued: "Why did Lord Zhang ask me to be an unrighteous and ruthless person?" Zhang Jianxiu still looked confused and asked, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Rong slowly woke up from his confusion, looked at Zhang Jianxiu, and said, "Fourth Brother, you can't blame Lord Zhang for this. I know you are all for my own good, but I won't be a general. I don't have this blessing to marry Princess Zhaoyi." Zhang Jianxiu laughed in silence and said, "Silly brother! What's wrong with being a general? Princess Zhaoyi is four years younger than you. The fourth brother watched her grow up. Beautiful and dignified, and understanding. If it weren't for avoiding suspicion, Princess Zhaoyi would have become the wife of Brother Zhaoyi. Look, who else in the world will have such a good fortune?" Guo Rong
He said, "Fourth brother, but my heart has a long time to belong, so I can't get in touch with Princess Zhaoyi." Zhang Jianxiu then understood the reason, and laughed out loud, saying, "So that's it. My silly brother! What's wrong with being a person with a heart? It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines! Princess Zhaoyi is reasonable, and she will definitely agree. Besides, it's not the turn of women to agree with this matter. Although she is the princess and is the emperor's current sister, since she is married to you, she is a member of the Guo family, so you will naturally have the final say. What's the difficulty?"
Guo Rong wanted to say something, but at this time someone came in and bowed and said, "Go to Lord Zhang, see General Guo!" Guo Rong looked closely and found that he was a man in his forties, dressed as a butler. Zhang Jianxiu said, "Butler Xiao, you're here." Then, he said to Guo Rong: "Brother Rong, this is the butler Xiao of Shangyi Mansion of the National Palace." Guo Rong said in shock: "This is called Shangyi Mansion?" Zhang Jianxiu nodded and said, "That's right, it's Shangyi Mansion. Just peel the red silk." Guo Rong looked at the red silk hanging there on his head and murmured: "It's the same as not to peel it."
Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "General Guo, according to the emperor's imperial edict, Lao Xiao brought four maids and ten guards to the mansion to serve the general. Please give me instructions!" As he said that, he saw that he had a move of his hand and more than a dozen people came in. He counted carefully. It turned out that there were four maids and ten strong guards. Guo Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Since the emperor has arranged everything, what else can I say. You go down and do your own things." He waved his hand to let them go down. Mr. Xiao saw this and had to take everyone down.
Suddenly, Zhang Jianxiu said, "Butler Xiao, stay!" Butler Xiao immediately stopped and stood there quietly waiting for instructions. Zhang Jianxiu looked at Guo Rong and said, "Brother Rong, in the fourth brother's opinion, it is better to send them to take the Grand Hero Li to live here. After all, the place is spacious and there are servants to take care of it, so it is comfortable to live there. You can rest assured to go far northwest."
