Chapter 246: Staying in the Hou Mansion
Listening to Guo Jia's words, Wu Fang's face immediately flashed with a cold look, and then he burst into laughter, "Haha, miss, you don't know much about political affairs, so you don't know that in this military and defense handover, all kinds of documents need to be sorted out and reorganized.
Just pass my hand."
As he spoke, Wu Fang glanced at Yan Qing intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Today, the Marquis and I are confirming the documents that need to be handed over, so as not to get too busy later and miss some funds."
Guo Jia looked at Guo Youning suspiciously.
"exactly."
Guo Youning answered, put his big palm on Guo Jia's head twice, and scolded her, "I've really spoiled you. You dare to question your father in front of guests, no matter how big or small you are!"
Guo Jia curled her lips, made a face at Guo Youning, obediently gave up the throne, stood beside Guo Youning, and said in a high-sounding voice, "Aren't you afraid that there will be a misunderstanding between you and the special envoy? I don't care if I act like a villain.
, Dad, if you are at odds with the special envoy over some trivial matter and it affects the deployment of border defense in northern Xinjiang, it will be serious."
"You are the only one with a poor mouth."
Guo Youning glared at her angrily, but the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, turned around and sat down at the main seat, invited Yan Qing to take a seat, and said, "My late wife left early, and this girl has no one to teach her, so she was spoiled by me."
, It’s so unruly that it makes the special envoy laugh.”
When Yan Qing heard this, his eyes glanced at Wu Fang, who was sitting next to Guo Youning, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei loves his daughter as much as she wants. Miss Fan opened her mouth and did everything. I thought it was an exaggeration, but today I got
Only when you see it will you know that the rumors are true."
Guo Youning's wife died young and he had no relatives. His daughter was young, so he wrote a letter requesting that his daughter be taken to northern Xinjiang and raised by his side. He became the only one among the four princes who had no relatives in Beijing.
Instead, Wu Fang was placed beside him and entrusted with important responsibilities.
It's just that this post was buried secretly after all, and he was not really affiliated with the emperor, so the emperor couldn't wait to let himself divide Guo Youning's power.
One is to keep part of the power in northern Xinjiang in his own hands, and the other is to prevent the Guo and Xu families from joining forces.
In this way, Wu Fang, the lackey of the Xu family, is no longer necessary.
No, Wu Fang has so much power that all the military defense documents in Northern Xinjiang have passed through his hands. If he wants to get involved in the cooperation between the Guo and Xu families, he must pull Wu Fang out of his control.
Come down.
Therefore, it is safest to find an opportunity to get rid of Wu Fang directly.
Cut first and play later...
It turns out this is still used.
Yan Qing understood, looked away from Wu Fang, and continued with a smile, "If it hadn't been for Miss Jinsou, Qing would have been unable to see the Marquis. It is Qing who should thank Miss."
Guo Youning knew that Yan Qing was trying to squeeze him, so he snorted coldly and showed dissatisfaction, but was pushed away by Guo Jia.
Looking at his daughter for a moment, Guo Youning reluctantly swallowed the offensive words on his lips, his eyes sank, and his smile disappeared, "The handover documents from the three border cities are huge, and it is not my honor to neglect the special envoy."
Original intention.”
"Your Majesty is pressing hard for the handover. There are still a lot of documents that have not been sorted out, so I won't sit down for more."
As he spoke, Guo Youning stood up and turned around to walk out. When he saw Yan Qing planning to follow, he glanced at her again and said, "The special envoy is tired from traveling and traveling, so we should rest for a few days. After we have sorted out the documents that need to be handed over, we can invite the special envoy."
It’s not too late to hand over to the Defense Department.”
Yan Qing glanced at Guo Youning and Wu Fang, and nodded unwillingly: "That's fine. It will be a hard work for the Marquis. Qing is waiting in the post house, ready to be summoned by the Marquis at any time."
"The post house is poor. The Marquis has ordered people to tidy up the guest rooms."
Wu Fang banged his fan and said with a smile, "My lord, during these days in Yangcheng, I would like to stay at the Marquis Mansion so that the Marquis can fulfill his duties as a landlord."
Yan Qing glanced at Guo Youning, who was unhappy, but he did not refute Wu Fang's words.
"That's a good feeling!"
Guo Jia suddenly approached Yan Qing and took Yan Qing's arm affectionately. "I don't have anything to do on weekdays. I just happen to accompany General Yan around the city and learn more about the customs and customs of our northern Xinjiang."
Guo Youning's expression changed, and he hesitated to speak. In the end, he could only turn his head to look at Wu Fang angrily.
When Wu Fang saw that Guo Youning didn't speak, he cursed secretly and said to Guo Jia in embarrassment: "Miss, this is inappropriate. The special envoy is here to take over the military affairs of the three border cities, and the military affairs are complicated, and the Holy Spirit is pressing for the handover. It is necessary to get the handover at any time.
Please send the special envoy to the Defense Department."
"If you feel bored and want someone to accompany you, you can ask Jin'er to accompany you. Don't be willful and delay the special envoy's business."
Wu Fang branded Guo Jia as a willful eldest lady in just a few words, and admonished him in the tone of an elder, "Besides, the special envoy has had a hard journey along the way and needs a good rest. How can he follow a skinny monkey like you all over the city? I'm tired.
Sir, it is your fault."
"Your Majesty, you are serious. When Qing was young, he was able to march thousands of miles with the army. The fatigue on the road is far worse than marching and attacking."
Yan Qing withdrew his arm from Guo Jia's hand, moved half a step away, and cut off Wu Fang's words with a smile, "If you use this as an excuse to let down Miss Guo's kindness, Qing will really feel bad. Qing Qing also wants to know about Xiabei in advance.
The lives of the people in Xinjiang will be improved to prevent them from violating taboos and making people laugh when they take office in the future."
Guo Jia looked at Yan Qing keeping a distance from her, surreptitiously pouting, pretending to be arrogant, and grabbed her arm again, hugged her affectionately, and said to Wu Fang: "Since General Yan doesn't
If you object, Uncle Wu, please don’t worry about this, I have a sense of discretion."
Yan Qing tried to pull his hand away again, but it didn't work. Instead, Guo Jia pinched his arm.
Yan Qing lowered her eyes and looked over. Guo Jia turned his head and looked silly at her. There was an angry threat hidden in his eyes, but only she could see it.
Although Guo Jia was doing it for Wu Fang to show off, Yan Qing still felt awkward when someone suddenly held her arms so affectionately.
Especially, she is not familiar with Guo Jia yet.
But now Wu Fang wants to trap her in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion so that he can monitor her every move. If she wants to escape easily, she really has to rely on Guo Jia.
Seeing this, Yan Qing had no choice but to suppress the awkwardness in his heart, turned his head, and let Guo Jia hold his arms.
Guo Jia pouted, and when Yan Qing turned his head, he showed a hint of disappointment. He turned to look at Wu Fang, who looked embarrassed, and smiled again, "Uncle Wu, don't worry! I just heard that there was something wrong in the teahouse.
My husband said that I have heard a lot about General Yan, and now that I see him in person, I am really curious."
"I will never mess around."
Guo Jia promised solemnly, and then said, "Besides, General Yan will take over the border defense of Northern Xinjiang in the future. I will take her to understand the customs and customs of Northern Xinjiang in advance to facilitate the management of the border town in the future. It can be said that I have used the support of the people of Northern Xinjiang for so many years in vain."
