MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 520 Cut from the rough jade (second watch)
Chapter 520 Uncut jade cut into (two more)
On the day when the old Hu Guogong returned to Beijing in a low-key manner, Yan Huisheng got the news and went out of the city to meet him in person.
On this day, the capital snowed heavily.
No one came in or out of the city gate. The carriage stopped for an hour, and then a thick layer of snow fell, and a layer of snow fell on the soldiers guarding the city.
The old protector of the country had excellent eyesight and asked the cronies around him, "Is that the carriage from the Eastern Palace?"
He told the prince that he would come back in two days, but he didn't say the specific date.
The confidant carefully identified it and nodded affirmatively, "Returning to the old man, it is the carriage of the Eastern Palace. It should be His Royal Highness who heard the news of your return to Beijing and came to welcome you in person."
The old protector nodded.
When he came to the gate of the city, Yan Huisheng had already dismounted from the carriage. He didn't use the little **** to hold an umbrella, and a layer of snow fell on his shoulders.
It is impossible for the old Hu Guogong not to dismount when he sees the prince, otherwise it will be spread, what kind of words are they like? He didn't listen to Yan Echo, so he got off his horse and greeted Yan Echo, "His Royal Highness, the veteran came out of Beijing. It can be said that he didn't do anything, and he didn't have any credit.
Yan echoed and laughed, "How can the old man not be credited? If it weren't for the old man, Gu wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing and wait for news from outside Beijing every day. Because you were the one who came out, Gu could sit firmly in court and feel at ease."
The old Hu Guogong laughed, "His Royal Highness certainly has some peace of mind, but it is not always so. Zhang Ping has 250,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, and the veteran only has 200,000 soldiers and horses. The 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Jinglu camp are hard to describe. They are not enough to use them. This time, the old minister has trained them hard."
He presented the Tiger Talisman and handed it to Yan Huisheng, "This is the Tiger Talisman of Jinglu soldiers and horses, Your Highness keep it."
Yan Huisheng didn't shirk it. He took the Tiger Talisman and wanted to laugh, "Since the day the old Duke left, I have been thinking about getting some soldiers and horses to support it. It is really a last resort. I have to recruit soldiers and horses. I didn't expect that the matter would be solved so easily."
"Hey, who would have thought of that? Thanks to that little girl Su Rong." The old Huguogong felt that this was too long to say, "If your highness doesn't dislike the old minister, tell me in your carriage?"
"Old Duke, please!" Yan Huisheng naturally didn't dislike it.
So, the two got into Yan Huisheng's carriage together.
In the carriage, there is a heater, covered by thick curtains, which is very warm.
Yan Huisheng personally poured a cup of tea for the old Hu Guogong, let him warm his hands, and then waited for him to drink the tea before speaking. Although he received brief letters from Su Rong every few days, he couldn't get a glimpse of the specifics from just a few words.
After the old Huguogong drank a cup of hot tea, he opened up the chatterbox and started talking about what Zhou Che told him, from the time Zhou Gu and Su Rong arrived in Nanping, until they entered the Huguogong's mansion.
In Huguogong’s mansion, Princess Sheng’an and the Duke’s wife heard that the old Huguogong returned to Beijing safely with his troops. Now that the suppression of the rebellion has been successful, the war has not reached the capital, and the people have returned safely, isn't it just joy?
The old Huguogong saw his old wife, his daughters-in-law, his granddaughter-in-law and his great-great-grandson, and he felt emotional and cheerful, "His Royal Highness is eating in the mansion today. I will go to the study with His Royal Highness. It is so cold, what are you all doing here? Go back to the house!"
Princess Sheng'an took a look at the old Huguogong, knowing that he just came back and had a lot to say to Yan Huisheng, and the female relatives, no matter how full of words they had, had to stay behind. In short, it's good for people to come back. She smiled and waved her hands, "Okay, let's all go back! Let them talk by themselves."
So, the old Hu Guogong and Yan Huisheng went to the study.
Princess Sheng'an called the cronies of the old Hu Guogong to her, "Come here, tell us about the outside affairs this time, you know everything, right? Be sure to speak carefully."
The confidant nodded, "Even the lowly position knows."
When the third son was telling the old man about the young master and Miss Su Qi, he listened carefully from the sidelines. At that time, he knew that he would be questioned carefully when he came back, so he took notes to write down the highlights.
The study room was warmed by the charcoal fire. The old Hu Guogong took off his armor, changed into a light clothes, and continued talking to Yan Huisheng.
I heard that 30,000 soldiers fought against the 200,000 Northern Hebei Army. I heard that Zhou Gu led people into the Northern Hebei Army twice to assassinate the chief general. I heard that Su Rong accepted Zhang Mao. Su Rong, I heard that Su Rong swept the snow on the ten-mile street to greet each other, and Zhang Yun got off his horse and walked ten miles to repay the new master's kindness and so on.
Yan Huisheng was moved. Although he didn't experience it personally, from the old Huguogong's retelling, he can also imagine how much effort Zhou Gu and Su Rong spent to put down the civil strife. Especially Zhou Gu, whose speed of growth surprised him, the person who had been with him the most since he was a child.
The old Huguogong spoke dryly, and when he finally finished speaking, he said with emotion: "Hey, the old minister is getting old. In the future, the world will be dominated by young people. Who would have thought that these two little things would be so capable? A major civil strife was resolved at the smallest cost."
Yan echoed and smiled, "The old Duke should be happy, Zhou Gu has finally carved this piece of rough jade."
Bringing this up, the old Hu Guogong became angry, "What's the use of carving it? I was abducted by that little girl, hey."
He thought of Zhou Gu's smug look, and felt hesitant, "You don't know, that brat, took out the marriage letter Su Rong wrote to him, and showed it in front of me. I tried a little harder, but he was afraid that I would tear it apart. It's very precious. Also, Su Rong's ghost girl is also the same. I thought she was going to go back to Nanchu directly, so I sent someone to call her to meet me. Dai, let her grandson be wronged. She has no self-knowledge at all. She said that I should not worry about Zhou Gu, but about her. With Zhou Gu by her side, who would dare to get close to her? With his temper and his two-handed sword, he dared to break into the barracks and kill people. What else would he not dare to do? I was speechless."
The implication is that my grandson is too aggressive, making him, a grandfather, angry and laughing at the same time, there is no room for him to develop. Grandpa Sun really couldn't help it.
Yan echoed and laughed, "People who have a marriage certificate are not what they used to be, and they are quite confident."
It is not in vain that Su Rong withdrew Ye Guixue's engagement, and chose rough jade to carve it.
Babies, monthly pass, what?
