Chapter 4: Married to a Princess(1/2)
The day before yesterday, Imperial Concubine Dugu and her daughter Princess Lingxian came to the Guo Mansion. Guo Yan was wondering why these two mother and son came to the Mansion in person.
As the saying goes, no one should go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything. After seeing off the concubine, mother and son, Guo's mother, Wang, finished their dinner. Afterwards, she invited Guo Ai into the wing with a sad look on her face. Then she told Guo Ai that Dugu was here.
He came here on behalf of the Emperor Daizong. The so-called matter was to return Guo Yan's consort to the princess's mansion.
After seeing off the troublesome Princess Lingxian, Guo Yan was hiding in a dark corner, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He was glad to have coaxed away his former infatuated lover. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, he was about to enter again.
The Tiger's Mouth of Princess Shengping's Mansion.
Guo Yan had no choice but to meet someone unkind and wanted to die, but he happened to travel to the body of the unfortunate prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. His fate was so bad that he couldn't help but lie on the bed all night and complain.
It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Even though it depends on the identity of the prince-in-law, he can't run away and let Guo Yan die again and travel back to 2012.
Heaven forgives, early in the morning in Xiwei, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the Guo Mansion's red gate and stone lion mansion, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, which was extremely grand.
"Mom, farewell now, don't worry about it. On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, my child will definitely come back to your house to say hello to you. Take care!" At this time, Guo Yan was dressed in elegant long-breasted white clothes, and his temperament was indeed handsome and elegant.
As they were boarding the carriage, they waved goodbye to Mrs. Guo and all the servants, servants, maids, and nurses who were standing behind her.
However, as soon as Mr. Guo got in the car, he showed a frivolous and casual behavior, but his aristocratic temperament, which was full of officials and aristocratic families, was immediately destroyed.
Before leaving, Guo Yan opened the curtains of the carriage, his head popped out, and everyone in the Guo family was gradually moving away towards the back. His cheeks twitched, his muscles spasmed, his exaggerated expressions, and his vivid acting skills were comparable to those of a man who has been in Hollywood for more than fifty years.
An old dramatist.
At that time, his son squeezed out two lines of clear tears, which greatly affected his mother Wang. She couldn't help but shed tears too. She called Miao'er by her nickname and led a large number of servants to follow Guo Miao step by step.
The carriage was half way across the street, and he was reluctant to leave.
"Haha, I don't know who Princess Shengping is, but she made me commit suicide eight times in a year. I really look forward to it."
Guo Yan just retracted his head into the carriage. His original expression of sadness after leaving home was suddenly replaced by a bright smile, a comfortable and leisurely look on his face, and his legs crossed.
"Master, your mood changes too quickly." Ah Fu, the book boy sitting in the compartment, saw his master's hypocritical performance and couldn't help complaining.
"Hey, your young master, this is called the Forest of Nostalgic Birds, and the Fish in the Pond Think of the Past. The outside world is so big. It's so unpleasant to stay in the Guo Mansion all day long, being controlled by my old mother. Now that I have the opportunity, isn't it?
The sea, sky and sky are free and easy."
At this time, Guo Yan was excited and danced in the narrow carriage. He then lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to the driver, "Uncle, please hurry up and go straight to Princess Shengping's mansion."
Ah Fu lowered his head to pack his luggage and murmured in a low voice: "What's so good about going back to the princess's mansion? It's not as good as my own palace. I'd rather sleep in the stables and woodshed of the palace. The treatment is better than that..."
However, Guo Ai, who was in an excited mood, didn't hear the book boy's muttering. He was straightening his messy hair for a while, and straightening his gorgeous silk clothes for a while. He seemed restless.
Drowsily, Guo Yan sat in the bumpy carriage and slept for about half an hour. He suddenly woke up from his sleep and turned his head. At this time, Ah Fu next to the seat was holding a thread-bound booklet.
, holding a small rabbit shoulder purple pen in hand, focusing on taking notes in the accounting room.
"Ah Fu, how far are we from the princess's mansion? Why has the car taken so long and we haven't arrived yet?" Guo Yan pushed Ah Fu's shoulder and asked anxiously.
"It's still early. The Fenyang Prince's Mansion is in the northwest corner of Qinchengfang in Chang'an City, and Shengping is in Xiban Lane to the east of the Princess Mansion. It's far away, at least thirty miles away."
Ah Fu slowly wrote a red line annotation on the account book with a red pen. Hearing this, he raised his head and replied.
"How far is it?" Guo An was uncomfortable with the violent bumps and turbulence of the carriage and horses. This unstable ride made Guo An miss his past life.
In a bustling urban area, he was used to driving a Toyota sedan at a speed of 100 miles per hour. In order to rush to work in a hurry, it was common to run red lights. At this time, he would get motion sickness in a low-speed carriage. This primitive low-speed car has neither speed nor comfort.
It is so comfortable that the pampered modern man Guo Yan is not used to it.
"Well, now we have just passed Xihuamen Street, turned left into Beiniushi Lane, passed Erdao Lane, climbed onto the Baiweifang Stone Bridge, climbed up the 13-turn earth slope, and started from the east entrance of Liang Guogong Liangfu Street.
Follow the arrow path south to the west wall, turn southwest and go southwest to the east gate of Bajiafang, and then...it's still two miles away."
Ah Fu eloquently talked about the streets and alleys of Chang'an one by one. This made Guo Yan completely speechless because of the complexity and length of the journey. At the same time, he was so impressed by his amazing oral skills as a book boy.
Guo Yan's face twitched, he closed his mouth and stopped asking. He couldn't help ventriloquising for a while, and sighed to himself, Ah Fu is as good as the GPS navigator invented in his previous life. He is indeed a talent.
With a bump and a bang, the carriage stopped immediately with a cry from the driver outside the curtain. Guo Yan quickly opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage first, glanced around, and took a closer look. He had arrived at a quiet high-rise in the suburbs.
Wall in front of the mansion.
The environment is quiet, surrounded by locusts, cypresses, pines and bamboos, which are lush and shady.
The house blends well with Feng Shui, making it quiet and elegant yet majestic, with a faint aura of dragons and tigers entrenched in it. A plaque hanging high in front of the house is engraved with "Princess Shengping's Mansion" in gilded regular script at the front.
When he arrived at his destination, Guo Yan looked around for a moment and praised him. In his previous life, in order to please a certain boss, he had studied the Book of Changes and metaphysics a little, and he also knew a thing or two about the harmony of yin and yang. Guo Yan couldn't help but sigh, he was in front of a geomantic treasure land.
At this time, at the gate of the house, there was a young servant boy holding a broom in his hand, lowering his head and working hard to clean up the fallen branches and leaves in the cold winter in front of the house. He saw a gorgeously decorated carriage stopping at the gate of the house. He stood and watched curiously. When Guo Yan got off the car,
The boy immediately threw down the sweeping tools and rushed into the house. Before the thick red door could slam shut as expected, Guo Nuan moved instantly and stretched out his arm to block the boy's whereabouts.
"This servant has just been recruited into the princess's house, right? Why is the master so rude when he returns to the house?"
Guo Nuan was a little unhappy with the child's rude behavior. He completely ignored the child's contemptuous eyes and pretended to be ruthless while communicating with Ah Fu.
"Because of his virtue, he usually looks down on you and me, young master. He took advantage of being half a year older than me, and he even made trouble with Ah Fu a few years ago. He threatened me in private and asked me to finish the water-carrying task that he had neglected.
Of course I didn’t accept the chores, I couldn’t argue with him, so I had a fight with him.”
Ah Fu and Guo Nuan were a master and a servant, singing and playing the double act. The little boy rolled his eyes in anger. Unexpectedly, the usually weak prince-in-law unexpectedly jumped off the building and did not die. He was out of character.
"Let me go. I'm Eunuch Huo's nephew. Be careful. Don't really think you are the consort. No one in the princess's house thinks you are the consort. You are a coward."
The little boy glared at Guo Nuan fiercely and said something that made Guo Nuan angry.
These words made Ah Fu a little dissatisfied. I didn't expect him to be so arrogant. I didn't know that his young master had a "strong" mentality.
"This Ergoudanzi is the lame Ah San's eldest son from a neighboring village. He is as virtuous as his father. He loves to eat and is lazy. He is also very good at flattering the government orders and the stewards in the accountant. By virtue of his relationship with the princess in the palace,
Siguan Eunuch Huo is somewhat of a distant relative, and he often bullies the servants in the house who are younger than him."
"He really bullied you, Ah Fu?" Guo Nuan turned around and asked.
"Yes, Master, you have forgotten, the tooth is so knocked out that it almost disfigures the face." Ah Fu, who looked depressed, opened his mouth and pointed to the missing tooth in reply.
"Pah! Pah!"
"Boy, you're rude, I'll slap you. Hit me, the boy, and I'll slap you." Guo Nuan gave the young man two slaps.
When Ah Fu heard this, he curled his lips and spat hard at the nicknamed Ergoudanzi. He said angrily. It seems that Ah Fu, who has always been honest and kind, is also dissatisfied. This little boy can be described as
He is a bad boy and needs to be disciplined.
"Apologise to my book boy."
"Wow, you're bullying me. I'll tell my cousin." Unexpectedly, the young servant Guo Nuan got tough today and even slapped him. He was so frightened that he ran into the house crying.
Guo Yan didn't expect that the servants in the palace would wink at him before he entered the princess's mansion. With such treatment, Guo Yan felt that his future life as a prince-in-law was not very optimistic, and he had to take care of it.
The bad guys go first, otherwise they will be bullied.
Although I was speculating like this, I couldn't just wait around at the door. Half a quarter of an hour after seeing those two Goudanzi enter the house, the vermilion door didn't open again. The people in the house should also know that the prince-in-law is coming, but there is no movement.
, Guo Nuan shook his head, it seemed that the prince-in-law had no choice but to go up and knock on the door himself.
"Let's go, the young master is going back to the mansion today, and show off his dignity. The things we lost in the princess's mansion will be regained slowly in the future!"
Guo Yan glanced at Ah Fu beside him, who was currently indulging in the past and looking back with a depressed look on his face. He couldn't help but raise his voice by an octave to comfort his book boy.
After saying that, Guo Yan strode up the steps of the Princess Mansion with his head held high, and knocked solemnly on the door. After waiting for a long time, there was a creak, and the vermilion door slowly revealed a crack, and half of his old face, which looked like the wrinkles of an old tree bark, poked out.
Then the old man, who looked like a butler, looked at Guo An with cloudy eyes. He seemed to have thought for a long time before he opened his mouth, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth, and smiled meaningfully.
, the old voice faintly said:
"I'm sorry for my old eyesight, but it's my consort who has returned home."
The old man's chicken claw-like hands suddenly reached out to Guo Ai, grabbed his sleeve, and carried him into the house like a chicken. Guo Ai was unprepared, and the half-foot-high threshold suddenly bumped against him, causing him to almost stumble.
Well, I almost had a dog eat shit.
"Shh, don't make any noise. The princess is sleeping in the boudoir and has not yet gotten up to wash herself. Please forgive me, Prince-in-law, and we will quietly enter the mansion. The palace welcomes the Prince-in-law back to the mansion with great pomp and ceremony. Those false etiquette are too vulgar, so let's just skip it."
Just when Guo Yan was about to scold her and complain about the old man's sudden attack, he expected the old guy to lift his one hundred and forty kilogram body lightly and practice some martial arts.
Guo Nuan, a weak scholar with no strength in his hands, couldn't do it to him. The fat around his waist was almost covered with grease. The father-in-law was still smiling and didn't feel any pain at all. Guo Nuan had no choice but to go to him.
Ah Fu, who was carrying large and small bags behind him, waved his hand and motioned for him to follow him into the house.
Feelings are meant to give oneself a warning. It is not difficult to understand Guo Yan's cruel little actions towards the old man.
It is not a gentleman to seek revenge without revenge. A gentleman has been seeking revenge for ten years. Guo Yan cursed this old eunuch with no balls in his crotch and a sissy voice. He then adjusted his red face and looked at the old eunuch.
The two of them smiled, and the smiles they forced out were very forced, and their expressions were weird. In short, they had their own agendas.
Perhaps Ah Fu had experienced the power of this smiling old man with a gloomy face before. His expression was very reserved, and he shrank when he passed by the old man.
Then Ah Fu casually said to the old eunuch behind him: "Eunuch Huang, be safe."
After saying that, Ah Fu lowered his head and slipped into the mansion door, following closely behind Master Guo Ai, not even daring to make a sound.
"Hey, Afu boy, I have lived in Fenyang Prince's Mansion for half a month, and my face is soft and supple. I am living a good life there. Now that I am back, I can sit in Zajia's compartment when I have time. Zajia will give you some training when I have time.
Body and bones.”
Just as Ah Fu was following Guo Ai into the courtyard, an old eunuch named Huang Eunuch behind him was teasing him ten steps away. His tone was so sinister that it sounded so penetrating that it went straight to the bone marrow. Even Guo Ai felt a fit after listening to it.
Shivering.
Damn it, this old guy has a habit of cutting off his sleeves, right? Guo Yan once again despised Eunuch Huang for a while.
Ah Fu, who slowed down his pace and turned his head to the back, asked nervously:
To be continued...
