Chapter 340, the purpose of the reception

Guo Yi enjoyed sister Ling'er's adoring eyes, and even more liked her sweet voice like an oriole. He wanted to hear the title "Brother Xiaoyao" uttered from her mouth.

If you hear this title on the wedding night, well, you will lose your soul.

"Brother Xiaoyao, where are the other sentences in this poem?"

"We will discuss this later. Lord Tingwei Yang's residence has arrived."

Guo Yi secretly smiled, taking advantage of his little sister's ignorance of the true meaning of his words and wantonly taking advantage of her words.

Zhao Ling'er was not annoyed, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."

At this time, the carriage had stopped, and the two of them got out of the carriage one after the other.

It was already evening. Because Yang Xiu held a cocktail party, the Tingwei Mansion was particularly lively today. Many dignitaries and children of aristocratic families were invited, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the gate.

Among them were elderly ministers, high-spirited young men, and young ladies from aristocratic families in their prime.

When they saw this carriage surrounded by many royal guards, everyone looked sideways and secretly speculated on the identity of the owner of the carriage until the two men showed up.

"Guo Zilin!"

Someone shouted, and then a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the crowd and looked at Guo Yi with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you fall into the water? How did you end up here?"

But when he saw Zhao Ling'er who was following him out of the carriage, his heart suddenly became brighter.

Who knows that the Qilin'er of the Guo family is as charming as his father, and the emperor's edict may not be able to invite him, but he will definitely come if a beautiful woman invites him.

"Who is your Excellency?" Guo Yi stared at Mr. Jin Yi for a long time, but could not find out his identity.

"Well, you Guo Zilin, you don't even recognize your own brothers. I think you only regard beauties and don't recognize brothers." Young Master Jinyi was slightly angry when he heard this. After all, he took the initiative to say hello, but the other party didn't recognize him.

.

Brothers of the same race?

Guo Yi still didn't expect that this person did not exist in his predecessor's memory.

When Zhao Ling'er got off the carriage, she explained to him: "Brother, this is Guo Zizheng, the son of the Guo family, your cousin!"

Guo Yi asked in a low voice: "Who are Mr. Guo?"

Zhao Ling'er shook her head secretly when she heard this. As expected, her uncle had no contact with the Yingchuan Guo family, and her brother actually didn't even know his cousin.

Then he explained in a low voice: "Guo Tu, the head of the Guo family in Yingchuan, Mr. Gongze."

Guo Tu!!!

Can Guo Tu also be called everyone?

Guo Yi looked weird, was I wrong?

Or is the world wrong?

Seeing that Guo Yi didn't recognize him, Guo Xian was about to leave angrily, but was held back by Guo Yi.

Guo Yi smiled and said: "Xian brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you have become more and more charming. No wonder I can't recognize you."

In my memory, when his father fled abroad, Guo Tu took Guo Xian to see him when he was a boy.

However, a few years have passed and the faces of the two brothers have changed. Naturally, Guo Yi cannot recognize them.

Guo Xian's face softened a lot when he heard this, but he said: "I thought that Brother Zilin has become so successful that he no longer recognizes my down-and-out brother!"

"No matter what, my father and uncle have a deep relationship. No matter what, you will always be my brother."

Guo Yi firmly believes that one more friend is far better than one more enemy, so he never makes enemies easily.

Because you never know if you will be down and out, and at that time, people will give you a lift or push you down.

"That's not bad." Guo Xian felt very comfortable after hearing this, but he was a bit arrogant and refused to admit it.

Then he asked: "Is it better to hear that your brother was assassinated?"

Guo Yi smiled, patted his chest, showed off his frail muscles and said, "Of course, how can my Guo family man be so easy to kill? Those ups and downs will only make us stronger and more fearless."

Unexpectedly, Guo Xian agreed with his face: "That is, with Jin Yiwei's ability, he will definitely be able to find out the origin of the assassin, and then the assassin and the mastermind will be cut into pieces."

When he saw Jin Yiwei protecting Guo Yi, he knew that this notorious organization had intervened and the assassin couldn't escape!

Guo Yi asked: "By the way, isn't my uncle an official in Jizhou? Why did you come to Chang'an?"

As far as he knew, Guo Tu in this life was the governor of Jizhou.

Guo Xian explained: "My father has been transferred back to Chang'an by His Majesty and will be appointed as Taichang, so I came back with him."

"The original Taichang was."

"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, he will succeed my father as the governor of Jizhou."

Guo Yi nodded with a sudden look on his face, secretly guessing Liu Bei's intention.

It is undeniable that in this peaceful and prosperous age, the significance of Taichang, the Jiuqing, was far greater than the position of Jizhou governor.

But if it were placed in this extraordinary period, it could even be said that Guo Tu, the head of the Guo family, was being watched under his nose.

Is it to win over or to be defensive?

Or is it both?

Judging from his cousin's face, he seems to be quite happy about this transfer.

Guo Yi didn't point it out and said with a smile: "Congratulations, it seems that your uncle is going to be reused by your majesty."

Guo Xian said modestly: "Brother, I have already said that your sect has a bright future. You have two marquises at a young age, and the emperor's honor and favor are fully displayed. It is a pity for your uncle."

His words stopped suddenly. In his memory, Guo Yi did not allow others to mention his father's departure.

It is said that he is unwilling to become an official because of his father's influence.

Guo Yi shook his head and said: "It's a pity that my father retired after his success and retired to the countryside. This is the way to be free."

"Brother Gao Yi, it seems you have seen through it."

"People always have to look forward. Besides, I can't change my father's choice."

Several people immediately walked towards Yang Xiu's mansion.

Halfway through, Guo Yi asked casually: "Zizheng, do you know the reason why Yang Tingwei held this cocktail party?"

Guo Xian was silent, seeming a little embarrassed.

Guo Yi smiled when he saw this and said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient to tell you."

"No, my brother is also a child of a noble family, so there is nothing to say. To be honest, this is called the Poetry Meeting, but it is actually for the imperial examination."

Guo Xian whispered: "This imperial examination is obviously digging into our foundation. Once the books are spread all over the world, the influence of our family will be greatly reduced."

At this time, the imperial examination was no longer a secret. From the advent of printing, to the construction of academies in various places, recruiting students regardless of their origin, to today's public examinations, the emperor's intentions have been fully revealed.

He wanted to break the aristocratic family's monopoly on officialdom, so that even ordinary people from poor families in the world could be qualified to serve as officials.

Although equal employment cannot be achieved for the time being, at least the aristocratic family cannot be allowed to cover the sky with one hand, otherwise future generations of monarchs will inevitably encounter a situation of being sidelined.

Guo Yi agreed: "Yes, His Majesty built his empire with the support of our family, but now he has to kill the donkey."

"Who says it's not the case? I heard that the Prime Minister is already planning to resign."

"really?"

"pretty close."

"Okay, Uncle Xun is worthy of being the head of a noble family in the world, with great ambition!"

Phew...
