Chapter 205 Princess Yongning (4)
After the long and cold winter, the land of Hedong began to exude vitality.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Guo Hao has led his troops to patrol the border. Perhaps it has been enough trouble. In the past few months, except for Murong Yanchao's occasional small moves, the rest of the place has been very quiet.
When they returned to the Jiedushi Mansion, they happened to meet Guo Yongning on the way. The two passed by, like strangers, but the other people looked at them strangely.
At this moment, a disciple of the Beggars' Sect ran over and was about to say something, but when he saw Guo Yongning, he immediately closed his mouth and waited for Guo Yongning to walk away before speaking.
"The leader of the Gang, the twelve Hedong prefectures, has begun to be established, but there are not many beggars in Hedong. Should we accommodate some refugees?"
Guo Hao shook his head when he heard this. The beggars proved that he had good governance and that the people had food to eat. Who would become a beggar?
"No need, we have developed fast enough. Hedong is my vassal state. There are no need for so many people, as long as we can deliver messages."
The disciple took the order and left after hearing this. Li Hui walked to Guo Hao and whispered: "Young Master, Princess Yongning has been staying in Hedong. Now the people regard you as your son-in-law and love you very much. If you keep doing this, I am afraid that the people will have ideas."
After Li Hui finished speaking, Guo Hao sighed and said, "I don't know, but I can't explain. Do you have any good ways to tell her not to pester me."
Li Hui shook his head after hearing this. He was a subordinate, how dare he get involved in such a thing? The same is true for other officials under Guo Hao. No one can offend him, either Guo Hao or Guo Yongning.
Guo Hao looked back at Guo Yongning and found that she had not walked away. At this time, she was buying vegetables at a vegetable stall.
"Uncle, how do you sell this fish?"
"So it's a princess. Why did you come out in person? The fishing in the river is worthless. If the princess likes to eat it."
"How can that be? This is what you worked hard to get."
As he said that, Guo Yongning took out ten cents, handed them to the fisherman and picked up the fish.
"There are too many, so I can't use that much."
"This fish is very big and worth the money."
Seeing this scene, Guo Hao felt a little moved. When Guo Yongning first arrived in Hedong, he looked quite like a princess, but after staying for a long time, he looked like a farm girl.
Guo Yongning used to be pampered. For the first time, he lived for so long and had no maids or followers. Guo Hao didn't want to give money and didn't need to send someone to help, as if he was angry with him.
"Mr. Guo is such a blessing. If you marry a woman like you, no one dares to believe you if you are a princess."
The fisherman was a little moved, Guo Yongning smiled and said nothing, turned his head and happened to see Guo Hao looking at her, still pretending to be nothing.
Guo Yongning's residence is not far from the Jiedu Mansion. When she returned home, Guo Yongning started killing fish. Because she couldn't cook, she had eaten pickles for several days. She was so greedy now that she wanted to buy a fish to try it.
Although the fish was dead, Guo Yongning still had no idea how to start. She raised the kitchen knife, closed her eyes and chopped it hard, and chopped it on the cutting board with a sound.
When he opened his eyes, the fish was still fine. Guo Yongning gestured with a kitchen knife, but he couldn't do it after all.
“Woo…”
Guo Yongning put down the kitchen knife and couldn't help crying. In the past three months, she often cried and wanted to go back countless times, but when she thought of Guo Hao's expression, she insisted.
It turned out that after Guo Yongning moved out, Guo Hao came to find her. Guo Yongning also had a temper and didn't need his help if he didn't leave.
Guo Yongning can't do anything, but he is a princess after all. He will never starve to death with money on him.
But there is always a time when the money is spent. When Guo Yongning spent all the money, Guo Hao appeared.
"I've spent all my money, so I should have enough trouble. Go back."
Guo Hao seemed to be talking about a child. Guo Yongning wanted to give up. When she saw Guo Hao's disdainful expression, she suddenly felt a sense of stubbornness in her heart.
"I won't go back, even if I starve to death, I will stay!"
Guo Hao didn't believe it at all, but what Guo Yongning did was far beyond his expectations. She actually started to borrow money from the officials!
At first, the officials were a little surprised, but when they learned about the inside story, they all thought that the couple was angry, so they dared not ask the princess to pay back the money, so they respected Guo Yongning a lot of money.
After Guo Hao learned about it, he ordered the officials not to borrow Guo Yongning's money. Guo Yongning was not angry and began to attack the merchants in the city.
Guo Hao is so angry. It would be fine if she borrowed money. Although the princess borrowed money is not nice, Guo Wei can't afford to pay it back. He should be fine.
But Guo Yongning actually borrowed money in his name, and Guo Hao went to find Guo Yongning.
"What are you going to do? You are a princess after all, how can you do such a thing!"
"What did I do? I just borrow some money. When I return to Bianliang, I will naturally ask my father to repay it."
"Then why are you in my name!"
"You are the governor, they believe in you, and you need to protect others if you borrow money. You are the most suitable one."
Looking at Guo Yongning's harmless expression, Guo Hao really wanted to beat her, but he was not so brave. If Guo Wei knew that he was beating Guo Yongning, he might really kill him.
There was no choice but to pay back the money for Guo Yongning, and then repeatedly refused to lend Guo Yongning's money, otherwise they would ask Guo Wei for it.
How dare they ask Guo Wei for money, but Guo Hao and the others dare not offend him. They thought Guo Hao was embarrassed to ask for bribes before, so they let Guo Yongning come forward, and they did not plan to ask for money.
Guo Hao saw the thoughts of those businessmen and was completely speechless about Guo Yongning. Fortunately, Guo Yongning didn't borrow much money, otherwise he would have been unable to clean it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Guo Yongning didn't know how to cook, so he bought it for food, so the expenses were naturally very high. As a result, he spent all the money in a few days. This time she couldn't borrow money, and officials and merchants were hiding from her.
Without money, Guo Yongning started selling jewelry. Finally, he knew how to save money and started cooking by himself, but it was just the simplest.
At the beginning, Guo Yongning thought it was quite interesting, but over time, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Guo Yongning squatted in the kitchen and cried. Guo Hao appeared at the door and sighed, "Go back, this is not the life you should live."
Guo Yongning looked up when he heard this and found that Guo Hao had come at some point. Guo Yongning wanted to stop crying, but tears couldn't help but flow down.
"I don't, even if I starve to death, I won't go back! I have no shame to go back, I have no shame to see my father!"
After saying that, Guo Yongning continued to squat on the ground and cried. Guo Hao couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He walked to the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife and started killing the fish.
"After persisting for so long, you have proved that I dare not rush to the top, and no one will laugh at you."
Guo Hao said that a fish had been packed up and then put it in water to clean it. He washed it very carefully.
Seeing Guo Hao's actions, Guo Yongning looked up at him. The courage from somewhere came from suddenly stood up and hugged Guo Hao from behind.
Guo Hao's body shook, and the movements in his hands froze. He knew Guo Yongning's intentions very well, but the two of them always abide by etiquette and keep a distance.
At this time, Guo Yongning suddenly hugged him, which made Guo Hao a little at a loss. Guo Yongning put his face on his back.
"Now Hedong knows that I am yours. If you don't want me, I will not be ashamed to go back to Bianliang. I will throw away all the face of the royal family. Only death can be considered as a reward for your life-saving grace."
After saying that, Guo Yongning went to get the kitchen knife on the chopping board. Seeing this, Guo Hao quickly grabbed her wrist. The two turned around at the same time, and their eyes were facing each other.
Looking at Guo Yongning, Guo Hao's eyes were a little complicated. He had to say that there were many women around him, but he didn't find it difficult to deal with it. Only Guo Yongning made him helpless.
He said she was scheming, sometimes she was very stupid, but she could do something that made Guo Hao helpless.
Maybe it was destined that he shouldn't have saved her at the beginning. If it weren't for Guo Hao, Guo Yongning would have been a dead person. Maybe she wouldn't be able to survive after leaving Guo Hao.
The two were very close at this time and could hear their breathing. They stood opposite each other, and it took Guo Hao to let go of her after a long time.
"Don't be willful. Go home with me. You have lost a lot of weight during this period. When you go back like this, Your Majesty will eat mine."
When Guo Yongning heard Guo Hao ask her to return home, he was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.
Guo Hao sighed, shook his head helplessly, and turned around to walk out of the kitchen. At this time, Guo Yongning suddenly chased after him and hugged his arm.
