The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 28: Childhood Buddies

The sky is getting darker, and a few stars are inlaid in the starry sky, protecting the round moon, shining like a silver plate in the night sky.Rare sunny weather.

As night fell, Princess Lingxian's carriage arrived at Princess Shengping's mansion.It happened that Shengping was going out too.If it wasn't for the arrival of the spirit fairy, it was an appointment to attend the Poetry Festival by the Ming Lake in Chang'an. Because of the recent imperial examination troubles, Guo Nuan really forgot that this day is No. 15 of the lunar calendar.

"Uh, why is the son-in-law going out too? Still with Sister Xian'er?" Sheng Ping was dressed up in a purple dress with gauze pleats, and he was looking at Guo Nuan with a pair of smart and beautiful eyes.

Just as the little Lingxian girl walked out of the gate of the mansion with the helpless Guo Nuan on her arm, she happened to meet Shengping's motorcade.

"Hehe, it's Sister Shengping. Xian'er is going to take Brother Guo to the Minghu Poetry Festival. Are you going now too?"

Guo Nuan moved her buttocks, changed to a more comfortable posture, and looked sullenly at the night scene of the market that was rapidly retreating outside the curtain of the carriage.

There are three people in the carriage, Lingxian in the middle, Guo Nuan on the left, and Shengping on the right. The gorgeous carriage seems a bit crowded.

As the saying goes, two women are better than a group of ducks, chatting non-stop, Guo Nuan can't get in the topic of the two girls at all, and adding that there was some unhappiness with Shengping about the imperial examination yesterday, on the surface the two Personally, in the eyes of Lingxian's children, everything seemed very harmonious, but if Lingxian hadn't insisted on pulling Guo Nuan Shengping's carriage, the two of them would have no reason to get together.

Guo Nuan yawned uninterestedly, as he could never finish talking about the topic between women, showing a lack of interest.

Half an hour after the convoy entered, they arrived at the shore of Minghu Lake in Xicheng District of Chang'an.At this time, the attic tile market lined up by the lake is full of lights and festoons, and it looks beaming.

"Hey, it's really lively here." As soon as the carriage stopped, Guo Nuan couldn't wait to jump down, looking at the crowded and lively scene, there were a large number of beautiful singing girls singing and dancing on the stage, playing the zither and the zither, and scholars and literati in the audience Gathering and chatting, chatting and laughing, wine glasses and champagne, and feasting, he couldn't help feeling the rich and colorful life of the people in the Tang Dynasty in the night market.

"Brother Guo, where are you going, hurry up and follow Sister Shengping." Just when Guo Nuan wanted to go for a walk alone, Lingxian grabbed Guo Nuan's arm and followed Shengping.

To be honest, staying next to Shengping, Guo Nuan really felt like a thorn in his back, which was extremely uncomfortable.It seemed that when they came out of the door and got on the carriage, the two of them had always treated each other as guests, and their words and deeds were polite and polite. This kind of weird atmosphere of getting along with husband and wife made him very depressed.

It's a pity that Ah Fu is not by his side now, and stays in the princess mansion. He can't speak by himself, and he is almost depressed.

"Hey, dear brother Guo, haha, I haven't seen you for so many years, I almost don't recognize Brother Hu."

Just as Guo Nuan was looking left and right, suddenly a big bear hug came from behind, suddenly tightening his cuff tightly.

This guy is really strong, Guo Nuan muttered, and turned his face to the back of his neck curiously.What came into view was a robust middle-aged man, wearing a blue long fur, with healthy wheat-colored skin exposed outside the clothes.Claiming to be Big Brother Hu, he was rubbing the side of Guo Nuan affectionately with his steel needle-like beard stubble, which made Guo Nuan grin his teeth.

"Oh, you are?" Guo Nuan looked bewildered, broke free from the embrace of this enthusiastic man, took a few steps back, and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

"Zhang Hu? You brat, my elder brother still misses you all the time. Five years pass in a blink of an eye. You won't know me anymore. You really don't have a long memory." Zhang Hu casually gave Guo Nuan a big chestnut on the back of his head, knocked It hurt him deeply.

"When I was young, my family lived in Anqingfang, and your Guofu lived diagonally across the street. I often went to swim in your pond, chasing geese. You often came to my house to play billiards and play paper falcons. .Haven't remembered yet?

….Also, once when we were young, we secretly roasted goose with government files in my father’s study. At that time, we almost burned a load of royal sacrificial files, and my father finally I found out, it's not because my elder brother is protecting you. He is afraid that my father will find out that you are in charge and go to the palace to complain to your old man Guo. My elder brother will take care of everything by himself.

At that time, my father was so angry that his beard almost turned up, he locked me in the firewood room, starved for two days of confinement, hehe, but your brother is also very loyal, you secretly climbed over the wall a dozen times in those two days, no Stop delivering food to big brother.Otherwise, if you don't eat for two days, you will starve to death.

And because of the burning of the official sacrificial archives, Emperor Suzong almost took off the official hat of my old man Taichang Shiqing, and we really had a big trouble at that time. "

Zhang Hu talked a lot, spitting all over the place, suddenly stopped, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Guo, don't you forget all about this?"

"Oh, brother Guo remembered it. I'm really forgetful. I haven't seen you in so many years. I miss Brother Zhang. I know you like to eat roast goose the most. Every time Brother Guo eats roast goose, he will always think back to that time in the study room." Things, time flies so fast, I really miss it. Haha." Guo Nuan said nonsense, following Zhang Hu's words just now, and said it impeccably.

"Yes, yes, brother Zhang's favorite food is roast goose. It's rare that brother Guo still remembers it so clearly. He really deserves to be a good brother of my brother. He just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday, and the court transferred his eldest brother from Sima of Youzhou Prefecture to be an official in the capital. Department doctor, the two brothers will have plenty of time to hang out in the future."

The two seemed very affectionate, Zhang Hu punched Guo Nuan in the chest, and then Guo Nuan followed his example and punched him too.

Guo Nuan only now knew that Zhang Hu came to work in the capital, and his official position was quite high.For the big man Zhang Hu in front of him, he had the impression that he was bright and generous, and he didn't like to play tricks around the corner. He belonged to the straightforward type of person.

It seems that Guo Nuan in the previous life and him were buddies when they were young.Although it was the first time for Guo Nuan, who traveled through time, to meet this "acquaintance", within half an hour, the two quickly became acquainted, and the elders were shoulder to shoulder, as if they had known each other for decades.

"Uh, I heard that you were given to Princess Shengping last year. Is that tall and pretty woman standing next to you just now Shengping?" Zhang Hu was a little suspicious.

Just when the two men were gathering to reminisce about their childhood, at some point, Lingxian and Shengping moved to another lively place to play.

When Zhang Hu talked about Shengping, Guo Nuan realized that they were no longer by his side.

"Uh... yes, it's just that we don't get along very well, and we don't have any feelings. Brother Zhang, you also know that this kind of marriage between the Guo family and the royal family is a political marriage, and it's really uncomfortable to be a son-in-law." Guo Nuan sneered He smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

"Haha, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. You, Brother Zhang, are not the same. The big Buddha that is enshrined at home was always angry with her at the beginning. At first, it was not playing big cards and putting on airs at home. It's not for your brother to tidy up, tell her to go east, just go east, and now she is definitely a virtuous and virtuous wife." Zhang Hu understood very well, and then laughed loudly, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth .

"Who is your wife?" Guo Nuan asked suspiciously.

"Why, Princess Le'an, what else is there? Didn't you attend the wedding banquet back then? Look, you started to pretend to be stupid again, and your childhood problems haven't changed at all." Zhang Wei laughed again. Guo Nuan punched.

"I'm dizzy, we are really a natural pair of iron buddies, even the wife we ​​marry is a princess." Guo Nuan muttered speechlessly.
