Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

Another day and night passed, and the time was just right, neither early nor late, just as Guo Ye had predicted, he entered the city just before lunch.

At this time, Longxi County was the busiest city. When Guo Ye, who was wearing a scarlet robe and a double-winged cap, rode a tall horse and led a hundred soldiers in bright helmets and armor, as soon as they entered Longxi City, they immediately led The people in the county stopped to watch and discuss.

It really caught the attention of the people along the street, and there were sighs and sighs everywhere they went. Everyone saw Guo Ye returning to his hometown in such a beautiful way, and there was a voice in his heart, the big man of the Guo family, Guo Xiaoge, seemed to be promoted again Promising!

Guo Ye rode his horse and walked in front, facing the onlookers on both sides of the street, they all smiled at each other, if someone had the courage to call to say hello, he would still call out the other person's name and say hello just like he was an errand in Longxi back then.

The person whose name is called has a bright face and is honored.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Captain Zhiguo, the soldier who followed Guo Ye, couldn't help sighing secretly. He didn't expect Guo Changshi to have such a high reputation in his hometown. Compared with the reputation in Chang'an, it really had Nothing less than that, today can be regarded as a long experience.

This soldier of the Governor's Mansion Zhiguo Xiaowei's surname is Liu Zhenxuan, three generations of Liu's family are from the military, and his father was a guerrilla general under the command of Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin.Later, when his father was getting old, Liu Zhenxuan let Liu Zhenxuan take over his father's position and took a job as a captain of Zhiguo in Jinwu Guard.

Although it was a coincidence this time, and it meant being squeezed out of the Jinwu Guard, he was actually assigned to the King of Shu to be in charge of hundreds of soldiers who took over the feudal domain this time.

I thought he was sitting on the bench, but after seeing Guo Ye's ability, Liu Zhenxuan was even more grateful for being excluded this time.

At least working with people like Guo Ye, as long as you do your best, can you lose the chance of promotion?

While sighing, Liu Zhenxuan couldn't help but secretly reminded himself, Liu Zhenxuan, Liu Zhenxuan, following Guo Changshi will never lose money, you must seize the opportunity!

The movement on the street also alarmed Zhenniang in the carriage. She lifted up the corner of the curtain and looked outside. She couldn't help being shocked. It was such a big scene.

After putting down the curtain of the car, he couldn't help covering his chest with his hands, and said with some hot ravings on his face: "Why does my heart beat faster the sooner I arrive at Guo's Mansion?"

In a short while, the people onlookers spread the word to ten, ten to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand. The news about Guo Jia Dalang and Longxi Guo Xiaoge returning to his hometown quickly spread, and more and more Longxi people flocked towards the main street. Come and see.

da da da~~

Guo Ye maintained his demeanor and continued to ride his horse towards the direction of Guo Mansion. All the way, there were smiling faces facing each other. After a long time, the muscles of his cheeks became stiff, and his jaw almost collapsed from laughing.

It wasn't until he rode his horse into the alley and got off his horse at the gate of the mansion that Guo Ye put away his stiff smile, rubbed his face and looked up at the gate of his mansion.

The two stone lions outside the gate and the plaque on the gate have not changed; even the paint on the two gates has never fallen off.

Home, or that home.

However, the servants of the mansion had already gathered at the gate at this time, and when they were slowly driving away on the street just now, the news about his return from the city also spread into the mansion.

A dozen servants and maidservants stood on both sides of the gate, and there were a few familiar faces inside that he could still name.

All of a sudden, all the servants shouted in unison: "Welcome the high officials to return home!"

Guo Ye smiled, nodded and waved his hands to signal that everyone didn't need to be polite.

"My son-in-law, my son-in-law is back, really back!!!"

An abrupt voice came from behind Guo Ye, it was Wu Maocai next door to Guo Ye, Guo Ye's cheap father-in-law.

Liu Zhenxuan didn't know the details, and was about to stop him but was stopped by Guo Ye: "It's okay, these are family members."

Liu Zhenxuan hummed, stood erect and cupped his hands and said, "Master Changshi, since that's the case, why don't you lead a hundred soldiers to station outside the alley temporarily? To avoid being crowded in the alley and disturbing the neighbors."

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and said good-bye to signal Liu Zhenxuan to retreat out of the alley first.

Only then did he greet Wu Maocai, who rushed up to meet him: "Father-in-law, long time no see, you have lost a lot of weight! Are you still strong?"

This is not Guo Ye's perfunctory words. Indeed, Wu Maocai has indeed lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for more than half a year, and the creases on his face have deepened a little.It is true that time is not forgiving!

However, Wu Maocai was in good spirits, and laughed again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, I can eat, drink, and sleep. It's a very comfortable day, but it's a pity that I don't gain weight."

After that, he couldn't help touching the scarlet robe on Guo Ye's body, and praised: "This scarlet robe is really made of good material, tsk tsk, son-in-law, in just half a year, you actually changed into the scarlet robe. Although the old man is far away I’m in Longxi, but I’ve heard about your prestige in Tubo in teahouses. Could it be that the emperor saw your outstanding military achievements and promoted you again?”

After speaking, his face was full of envy, and his brows were full of philistines.

Guo Ye looked at Wu Maocai like this, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, this is my cheap father-in-law, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change, the same power as before.

However, I really couldn't explain my ups and downs to him in detail for a while, so I could only nod and smile: "Yes, now my son-in-law Tian is the post of long history in the Governor's Mansion of the Shu Prefecture, and his rank is from the fourth rank. Get promoted."

"What? From, from the fourth rank? Isn't that better than the county magistrate, oh no, is he on an equal footing with our Yizhou governor?"

Wu Maocai is now worth a lot in Longxi, and he has already joined the gentry class in Longxi. Both his vision and knowledge have greatly improved.

At least he now knows the rank of the county magistrate and the rank of the governor. He is no longer the bumpkin who fought to the death with Liu Laolai in Dongliu Township for a village head.

However, when Guo Ye heard him ask this question, he felt a wry smile in his heart. The governor of the governor's office seemed to have the same rank as the governor of a state, but his gold content was far worse?There is no comparison at all.

But he didn't talk to Wu Maocai in detail, so he just nodded and smiled: "It's almost the same."

Hearing this, Wu Maocai squinted his cloudy old eyes with joy, smiled like an old chrysanthemum with a wrinkled old face, and praised without hesitation: "Okay, okay, the son-in-law of our old Wu family is promising, from the fourth rank, from the fourth rank Pinna, you are on an equal footing with Lord Inspector."

"Your Majesty, the old lady and the two ladies have come out to welcome you!"

A servant interrupted the conversation between Guo Ye and Wu Maocai. He followed the sound and turned his head to look into the gate. He saw Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru, one on the left and one on the right, rushing towards the gate with the support of the old lady in the direction of the courtyard.

He could vaguely see the earnest expressions on the faces of the old lady and the two wives, especially the old lady who vaguely called "My son is back" and "Hurry up, help the old man to meet my boss".

Looking at the old woman's body gradually hunched, her steps faltered a bit, showing signs of old age, it really is true that time is not forgiving!

In an instant, Guo Ye's nose became sore, and the poor life of his father and mother, and his father's confession before his death appeared in his mind.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to support but the relative is not there!

Now that I have returned to Longxi in a glorious manner, it is a pity that my father can no longer see him.

"Da Lang, Da Lang..."

The old lady's call with a crying voice gradually became clear, and within a few breaths, Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru supported the old lady and approached him.

Guo Ye looked at the tears in his old lady's eyes, his face was full of anticipation and licking the calf, his chest seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer, hitting the softest part of his heart.

At this time, the old lady had already come to Guo Ye, stroking Guo Ye's cheeks with her trembling and withered hands, she could not cry anymore, and sobbed with a choked voice: "My son, my son has returned home, Dalang has lost weight and turned dark." .My son, you are home..."

Bang!

Guo Ye's knees suddenly softened, and he knelt on the ground with his back straight...

Boom, boom, boom!

Without further ado, he kowtowed three times to his old lady and hissed, "Mother, the unfilial son Guo Ye is back!!!"

As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, he kneels up, kneels down, kneels down, and kneels down to his parents in the middle.
