The people in the carriage still didn't get out of the carriage, they just lifted the curtain of the carriage and handed out a fine jade pendant.
Of the two guards, one stood guard beside the car, while the other stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.
This is the back door of the mansion, and there are almost no people coming and going in front of the door.
At this time, it was not completely dark yet, but the red lanterns at the back door had already been lit.
"Clap clap-"
The guard knocked on the door knocker again and again. After a long time, it was almost time for a meal before they heard voices from inside.
"Who? Why is there someone coming in through the back door at this hour?"
It seemed to be the voice of a servant, with doubts and a trace of dissatisfaction revealed in his tone.
Before long, the back door was still opened, and a young man in his twenties walked out, his face was glowing red, and his nose and mouth still smelled of alcohol from time to time.
It seems that he was eating and drinking, and was disturbed by the guard's knock on the door, no wonder he was a little impatient.
Seeing a mighty and majestic person knocking on the door, followed by a carriage, and a burly man standing beside the carriage, this young servant did not dare to speak strange words, but he did not show weakness either.
"Who are you? What's the matter with our house?"
The guard took out the jade pendant given by the man in the carriage just now, and handed it forward with both hands, with a cautious look, as if he was afraid of falling on the ground and breaking it.
"Please trouble this little brother, go in and report, and hand this jade pendant to your mistress, she will naturally know who we are."
Still making it mysterious?
The young man took the jade pendant and felt cool in his hands. The texture of the jade was extremely warm and soft, so smooth that there was no trace of blemish. The transparent body of the jade was like emerald water droplets falling from the top of the cave.
good stuff
Although the boy couldn't estimate the value of this jade pendant, he also knew that it must not be ordinary.
"Later, I will show this jade pendant to my master. If she is willing to see you, I will invite you again."
Who lives in this house, the boy's heart is like a mirror.
However, I have lived here for more than 20 days, and the people who come here are all directly through the front door, and no one has visited from the back door, especially at this hour.
The servant also knows that his status is low, and the people who go in and out of the house all day are all more expensive than him, and those who can produce this kind of jade pendant are definitely either rich or expensive.
The back door was closed again, and the servant's footsteps gradually faded away.
"Master, why hasn't anyone come to pick you up yet, is it possible?..."
The guard standing next to the carriage is an old man from the man's house in the carriage. He has been with the master for more than ten years and knows the relationship between the master and the person in this house.
Even, more than a year ago, he also witnessed the quarrel between the two of them.
One ran away from home angrily, and the other has been dormant for almost a year.
"crunch-"
After another cup of tea, the back door was opened from the inside again, and it was still the boy who came out.
"Most of the women in our mansion are women. The master said that you can come in at most two people."
The little servant spoke nonchalantly, neither arrogant nor servile.
It seems that after he went in to report just now, the owner of this house did not tell him who came.
"Okay, Shi Yong, you can go in with the old man—"
The boy's voice was not loud, but the person sitting in the carriage listened seriously, and lifted the curtain to lean out from inside.
The guard standing beside the carriage hurried forward, put the low stool on the front handlebar on the ground, and personally helped the old man out.
Yes, the one who came down was an old man in his 60s, with a slightly fatter body, wrapped in a thick mink fur cloak, and shivering from time to time.
Although he was wearing casual clothes, that is, the dress of an ordinary member of staff, he also showed a distinctive temperament.
It seems that he is really not used to the cold of winter in the north.
"Master, they only let two of us in, you see—"
The guard who knocked on the knocker hesitated.
"Haha, Shi Gang, you can stay outside and see where you can buy some food. The groom hasn't eaten or drank for a long time. Just ask Shi Yong to accompany me in."
Shi Gang and Shi Yong are both outstanding guards in the old man's house, they are still brothers, Shi Gang is the elder brother and Shi Yong is the younger brother.
"Why, are you still worried about the safety of the old man? This is the Luoyang City of His Royal Highness King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty. How can there be a small person?"
"Besides, this old man is going to see my daughter, so you don't need to worry too much..."
Chapter 281
Yanwang Mansion, Jixian Hall.
Guo Mo was holding a message that had just been sent in his hand, and it was already time to light the candles, and candles had already been lit in Jixian Hall.
Butter and wax shine like daytime, and braziers are placed in every corner. Although the entire Jixian Hall is empty, it is warm.
On the east side of Jixian Hall, Guo Mo also had people temporarily build a warm pavilion. Literati are no match for warriors. In the bitterly cold winter, they always want to keep warm.
The information was sent just now. Fortunately, all the civil and military officials had already settled in the Yan Palace, so Guo Mo simply called a few people over to discuss this interesting information together.
Zhao Rushu, the left commander of Yanwangfu, Sima Chengyu, and Meng Gong, who consulted and joined the army, were present here. If you add Xue Ji, the right leader in Lin'an, this can be regarded as the troika of Yanwangfu.
In addition to these three, Guo Mo also called Wei Liaoweng, Du Gao, and Liu Kezhuang, three economic appeasement envoys, and even Guo Jing and Zhang Shijie were called by him to listen.
Everyone had already eaten, so Guo Mo ordered people to bring hot tea.
The content of the information was very short, and it had already been circulated among the people. Some people lowered their eyebrows and pondered, while others hesitated to speak.
Only the little Zhang Shijie sat there respectfully, he knew that this was a rare learning opportunity given to him by his master.
"Your Highness, regarding the fact that you will accept Miss Li as your side concubine tomorrow, the official family announced it directly at the 'Daqing Palace' court meeting, and specially sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally deliver the betrothal gift to Yin County, Mingzhou."
"Now that person actually came to Luoyang City in person and settled in Miss Li's mansion the day before you got married. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple?"
As the Sima of Prince Yan's Mansion, Cheng Yi had just come from Lin'an, so of course he had his own say in this matter.
That's right, the old man who entered through the back door of that house was none other than Shi Miyuan, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty who once held great power.
The official Zhao Kuo followed the advice of the old eunuch, and specially sent Prince Zhao Mian to Yin County, Mingzhou. Shi Miyuan's hometown met the Prime Minister, and at the same time sent him a valuable betrothal gift.
Such a move also caused quite a stir among the ruling and opposition parties in Lin'an.
Some people are guessing, is it true that the government is going to revive the history again?
It was because of this that everyone knew that the side concubine His Royal Highness King Yan was about to marry was actually Shi Xiang's righteous daughter.
In this way, one of them is a powerful prince with more than 20 elites in his hands, and the other is a powerful minister who once had power in the government and has many former students and old officials.
These two people are now connected through a side concubine of King Yan, so the relationship network they formed is really unbreakable.
What do the officials think today? Why didn't he stop such a marriage?
More people began to worry about the position of His Royal Highness the crown prince. Although the crown prince Zhao Mian was not a parent of the current official family, he was of the Zhao Song bloodline after all.
Could it be that the country of the Great Song Dynasty is going to be handed over to a person with a foreign surname?
It seems that in the eyes of many people, Guo Mo is still just the adopted son of the official family, and not many people call him "Zhao Hao".
Regarding this trip to Yin County in Mingzhou, Prince Zhao Mian was very complicated.
Previously, he wanted to rely on Shi Miyuan, a big tree, to consolidate his position as the crown prince.
From his point of view, he had already "abandoned the past" and no longer cared about Shi Miyuan's past mistakes. Even after he became a great treasure in the future, he planned to give Shi Miyuan a happy ending.
He never thought that his biggest "rival" in the past two years would actually marry Shi Miyuan's adoptive daughter and become his side concubine of King Yan.
This news simply made Prince Zhao Mian collapse directly. Doesn't this mean that his last hope is gone?
What made him even more devastated was that the officials actually asked him to go to Yin County in Mingzhou to give a dowry gift for his cheap brother?
Zhao Mian was determined not to go, but he was a little unwilling. He managed to maintain the image of a "loyal minister and filial son" for more than a year, because this incident made the officials unhappy. Wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
In the end, it was a resourceful person beside him who gave him an idea. He simply followed the plan and came to a bright plank road to hide Chen Cang secretly.
Let Prince Zhao Mian take this opportunity to finally have another showdown with Shi Miyuan.
He even asked Prince Zhao Mian to make a solemn promise that if he takes that position in the future, he will directly worship Shi Miyuan as his "Father Shang"!
In their view, this is an extremely attractive promise, and the treatment Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang received back then was nothing more than that.
Prince Zhao Mian went there happily. Besides the dowry gifts prepared by the officials, Zhao Mian also prepared generous gifts in private as his entrance ceremony.
No one knew what the prince Zhao Mian and Shi Miyuan talked about, but they saw that Zhao Mian got drunk at Shi Miyuan's place, and was finally carried on the carriage by the guards.
This, is it a happy conversation?
Then came Shi Miyuan's trip to Luoyang.
He lived for more than 60 years, where did he suffer from such bumps?
Hungry, thirsty and hungry every day, staying overnight at Xiaoxing, finally arrived in Luoyang City before Li Mochou got married.
"Then, what do you guys think, what is the idea of this Prime Minister coming to Luoyang City this time?"
"You know, he has always supported His Royal Highness before, and he had a conflict with Mo Chou as early as last year. Although it didn't reach the point of severing the relationship, it seems that he shouldn't have such great sincerity?"
Guo Mo still couldn't figure out Shi Miyuan's reason for coming.
To say that at the beginning, he was still a little afraid of this historical prime minister, but at this stage of development, Guo Mo no longer cares about the opponent's power.
Even if he only owns the territory he acquired from the Dajin Kingdom and Xixia, relying on the existing team of the Yanwang Mansion and the more than 20 soldiers of the four major forces, it is not difficult to set up his own family.
Compared with starting a new stove and letting him take over the long-standing weak Song Dynasty, it is even more difficult to develop.
"Your Highness, based on the old man's years of understanding of history, perhaps this time history is here to seek cooperation."
Zhao Rushu, who was sitting on the top with his head bowed, took a sip of hot tea and said calmly.
"Oh, what does Zhao Changshi mean, this Prime Minister will turn his head and support our Highness? But, he doesn't know His Highness's real identity either?"
Wei Liaoweng spoke, although Guo Mo now has the so-called three so-called economic strategy appeasement envoys, if we really want to talk about qualifications, it is Wei Liaoweng.
First of all, Henan Province was managed in an orderly manner. As the governing body of Henan Province, the restorative development of Luoyang City was even more rapid.
After the Guanzhong Plain was recovered, the first person Guo Mo could think of was Wei Liaoweng.
Although the revival of Chang'an City has just started, everyone believes that its revival is bound to be just around the corner.
"Haha, Father Hua, are you really upholding the uprightness of your ancestors? The old man said that Shi Xiang came to seek cooperation, but not necessarily to support His Highness. 'Praise and kill' is also a kind of killing."
Wei Liaoweng is a descendant of Wei Zheng, a famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is upright by nature and loves learning. Jiading Prefecture.
When Shi Miyuan was in power, he resigned to call for orders. Later, he knew Hanzhou, Meizhou, Suining Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion and other places, and his official career was also bumpy.
Fortunately, I met Guo Mo, knew his integrity and used his talents, which made his success in the past few years.
Do you want to kill?How to support me?
Now that they knew that Shi Miyuan was coming, they would finally meet, and tomorrow was the day of Guo Mo's wedding, everyone didn't delay for a long time, chatted for a while, and left one after another.
Nothing to say all night, dawn the next day.
Except for the bride, almost all the guests lived in Yanwang Mansion, so Guo Mo didn't need to stand at the gate to welcome them.
It's just that when the auspicious time comes, Guo Mo needs to take the team to welcome Li Mochou to Li Mochou's residence and bring her to Prince Yan's residence.
After all, the side concubine is a side concubine, and the specifications are still conservative, especially when Cheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, is still there.
However, whether it is Guo Mo or Li Mochou, they don't care so much about these formal things. Giving each other peace of mind may be the ultimate meaning of this wedding.
Knowing that Shi Miyuan had arrived, Guo Mo didn't let Feng Heng go again, lest the two of them face each other and make things difficult.
What's more, early in the morning, Li Mochou sent word that our Prime Minister wants to marry us in person.
Therefore, the person who went to marry made temporary adjustments.
Cheng Yu stayed in Yanwang Mansion to be his witness in peace, and Zhao Rushu followed Guo Mo to deal with Shi Miyuan over there.
From King Yan's mansion to Li Mochou's mansion, there is only one block away, and there are hundreds of sergeants from King Yan's guard before and after, specially picking out those handsome people.
Guo Mo's four major apprentices, each in fresh clothes and angry horses, stood around a bridal sedan chair carried by eight people. They were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.
Zhao Rushu acted as a relative, while Meng Gong acted as a bridesmaid.
It is not the first time for Guo Mo to get married, but at this moment, he is also full of emotions, feeling that everything is so unreal, just like a dream.
Seeing the gate of a mansion, covered in red and colorful, he knew he had arrived.
Feng Heng didn't come over, but Jin Yufeng brought Tingxiang and Wenfu over before dawn, along with four maids and four servants.
