"Your Majesty, don't worry, your old body is still strong."
Old Man Gu's face was full of joy and peace. Today, the emperor's son-in-law and daughter came to see him, and he was holding his granddaughter in his arms. Not to mention how happy he was, which made him enjoy this kind of family happiness.
"Is your father-in-law living here okay? If you're not used to it, I'll ask someone to find a better house." Xiao Yuan asked again with concern, treating Old Man Gu as his father-in-law. From the time he and Gu Xue met and first fell in love, they have been together for many years. The relationship between the couple has always been excellent. This kind of relationship is not comparable to that of Zhao Qingman's harem women.
"Get used to it. It's a good place here. It's close to the palace. Xue'er and my granddaughter can come to see my old man from time to time." Gu Tongtong.
The family was together and the adults were chatting. Of course, the child couldn't sit still. Xiao Qingluo also jumped out of his arms: "Grandpa, Qingluo went to play in the yard."
Saying that, he ran out.
"Be careful." Old Man Gu stood up with a doting look.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Xue couldn't help but complain: "Dad, don't get too used to Qingluo."
Gu Tong chuckled and said, "My granddaughter is my darling. She wants the stars in the sky, so I have to find a way to find a ladder for her."
Gu Xue felt helpless.
Xiao Yuan also smiled.
At noon, the maid served wine and food, and the table was full. Xiao Yuan also had two drinks with his father-in-law, during which they talked about some things at the chamber of commerce.
The management of Shu Brocade has long been perfected. The division of labor across the country has been clear and a certain pattern has been formed. Gu Tong was relatively free during this period, so he proposed the business idea of sugar and tea to Xiao Yuan.
In this era, sugar is still very precious, tea is also a good thing, and Gu Tong has an official position, and what he does in business is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise. After explaining the idea in detail, Xiao Yuan agreed after thinking about it for a while.
This is equivalent to another financial source for the country, and it is controlled by my father-in-law, so he naturally supports it.
Gu Xue was a little worried about her father's health: "Dad, when you are old, you should stop running around."
"Why, I still have the ability to do business. If you can contribute to the country during your lifetime, you will do so." Gu Tong said unhappily: "How about you give me your granddaughter, and I will stay with Qingluo at home every day. My granddaughter is going to and from school, enjoying family happiness."
"Dad." Gu Xue smiled helplessly.
After having a pleasant meal and having enough wine and food, Xiao Yuan sat for a while and was ready to go back.
Gu Tong hurriedly got up to see him off.
Gu Xue followed: "Husband, please go back first. Qingluo and I will stay with dad for a few days."
As a woman, she definitely wants to stay for two more days when she returns to her parents' home. Xiao Yuan naturally agreed, nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll pick you up when I get back."
"No, Qingluo and I can just go back directly when the time comes."
As Gu Xue said, she was pulled to a deserted place by Xiao Yuan, and Nuannuan said: "Madam, don't stay too long, otherwise I will miss you."
"Why are you becoming more and more immoral?" Gu Xuejiao hit him angrily.
"Hey, give me a kiss." Xiao Yuan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
On the way back to the palace after leaving his father-in-law's house, Liang Yuan asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to arrange some manpower to protect the safety of the empress and the princess?"
There are many servants in Gu Tong's mansion, and they are of high status. There are countless people who fawn over him, and the security of Chang'an is needless to say.
However, for safety reasons, Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Just send a few experts over and serve as guards in the Gu Mansion."
"Yes!" Liang Yuan immediately accepted the order.
There are many experts in Jinyiwei. Even if you are at the lowest level, you must have some skills, otherwise you will not be able to get in here.
Xiao Yuan did not choose to take a carriage, but took Liang Yuan back to the palace for a walk, taking a look at the scene in Chang'an.
How would you describe Chang'an now? Its prosperity is not only in the commercial market, but also in its population. There are many local residents and more people traveling from south to north. Regardless of whether the destination is here or not, as long as you pass nearby , will all want to come and see the prosperity of Chang'an.
This resulted in more than 100 squares of Chang'an's nine cities being crowded. From the morning until evening, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on various streets. And unlike other places, Chang'an was brightly lit even at night, and there were many night markets, which were very lively. extraordinary.
And now it is the twelfth lunar month, the end of the year is about to come, and with the news of the great victory at the border, every household can be said to be celebrating and full of joy.
Although Wei Qing's battle report came back not long ago, it was spread from the court under Xiao Yuan's instruction. Guomin knows that this kind of thing can not only boost morale, but also make the people more united.
The news spread very quickly, and now almost everyone in Chang'an knew about it, and the attack on the ghost clan had always been extremely popular, and the people often discussed it after dinner.
Looking at the market in front of him, Liang Yuan couldn't help but said: "Since His Majesty moved the capital to Chang'an, this place has become more and more prosperous. This is the prosperous age."
The center of the empire, the land of Kyoto, is naturally like this.
Xiao Yuandao: "Chang'an is the capital region, which is the main reason for prosperity, but the prosperous age of the world is still far away. It can be seen that throughout the country, after the war, there are still many places that are in ruins and waiting to be revitalized."
Liang Yuan said hurriedly: "I believe that with your Majesty's civil and martial arts, with your Majesty here, the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty is not far away."
"When did you learn to flatter someone?" Xiao Yuanle said.
"I speak from the bottom of my heart!" Liang Yuan said with a serious look on his face.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan smiled, changed the topic and said, "By the way, I heard how much cooperation between the North and South Town Fu Divisions has been done recently?"
"Yes, Mr. Yang has outstanding abilities, rich experience, and reliable work. Ministers often ask him for advice." Liang Yuan said humbly.
"You don't have to be too modest. I know your and Yang Zhao's abilities very well. You two have important positions as commanders of the north and south of the Royal Guards. You have to share the worries of the country." Xiao Yuandao.
"Yes, Wei Chen, remember this!" Liang Yuan said.
The two were walking and chatting, and several young people came towards them. Judging from their clothes, they were scholars. They passed by each other, and the voice of one of them was faintly heard: "Now that the Northeast Pass is being won, at this time , the imperial court should issue an order for the whole world to celebrate, and it’s okay to hold a national celebration.”
As the voice faded away, Liang Yuan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, what the man just said makes some sense. Why not take advantage of the end of the year to celebrate."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "Although it is a great victory in the first battle, the soldiers on the front line have not stopped fighting hard and have never made a triumphant victory. The ghost clan has not been exterminated. Now is not the time for the whole people to celebrate, and the military must not slack off."
"Yes, what your Majesty said is absolutely true." Liang Yuan agreed.
All the way back to the palace, after arriving in the study, Xiao Yuan also picked up a book and read it. This was another textbook that was about to be released, but as he looked at it, his brows furrowed. (End of chapter)
