Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 184 Visiting Guo Ziyi 2

Guo Ziyi said with a puzzled look on his face: "Huh? Xunfeng, what exactly do you mean by arrangements? This general is a little confused." As he spoke, he scratched his head, as if he really didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

Looking at Guo Ziyi's expression, Xun Feng couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Humph, still playing dumb! You think you can fool me like this? See how I expose your true colors!"

However, on the surface he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, look at my memory, could it be that I made a mistake? Could it be that you, Lord Guo, arranged a group of experienced servants to help me buy them smoothly? Originally, I brought a generous gift today, just to thank you, Lord Guo, for your kindness! However, if I really made a mistake, it doesn't matter. I will go back and check it carefully. In this case, I will take my leave first." After speaking, Xunfeng bowed and made a gesture to turn around and leave.

When Guo Ziyi heard this, his heart tightened: Oh no, he must not be allowed to continue investigating! Otherwise, if he finds out that it was Prince Guangping who asked him to do this, all his previous efforts will be in vain!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly spoke up to persuade him to stay, "Wait! Brother Xunfeng, maybe there are some misunderstandings. Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly. Maybe it's just a small misunderstanding." As he spoke, Guo Ziyi stretched out his hand to signal Xunfeng to sit down again.

Seeing this, Guo Ziyi quickly spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "Oh, you're right! I was indeed the one who ordered Manager Xu to handle this matter! Back then, the King of Yunnan was my immediate superior, and I've always respected him. Later, I happened to hear that the prince was planning to purchase a new mansion, but by the time I learned about this, you had already completed the purchase. So, I was thinking about whether I could contribute in some other way, and this is the perfect opportunity!"

At this time, Xunfeng, who was standing aside, thought to himself: Hehe, this guy was pretending to be stupid in front of me, but in the end he finally told the truth!

Then, Xunfeng quickly took out the gifts he had carefully selected and said with a smile, "In that case, it seems I didn't come to the wrong place today. These are just small tokens of my appreciation for you. Although they are just ordinary things, please don't mind!"

After hearing this, Guo Ziyi couldn't help but mutter in his heart: These are things sent by the envoy sent by the King of Yunnan himself. Even if they are really simple and rough, how can I have the courage to despise them?

Thinking of this, Guo Ziyi hurriedly thanked Xunfeng and expressed his gratitude. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal the maids and servants around him to hurry forward, carefully pack up all the gifts and store them properly.

After the servants left one after another like swimming fish, Xun Feng cleared his throat and said slowly, "Those items were specially prepared as gifts for the ladies in the mansion, the young masters, and the young ladies."

After saying this, he took out the fine wine he had just purchased, a sly smile on his face, and said softly, "As for this fine wine, it is specially presented to you, Lord Guo!"

Guo Ziyi's eyes were sharp and he recognized what was in front of him at a glance. He couldn't help but show joy on his face and blurted out: "Oh, this is the peach blossom wine and osmanthus wine brewed by the world-famous Tianxiang Tower? I am really grateful!" His inner joy could not be concealed in his words.

At this moment, Guo Ziyi thought to himself: This trip has yielded quite a reward! Not only have I successfully assisted the Prince of Guangping, but I have also lent a hand to the Prince of Yunnan's predicament. Even more delightful is that I have received such a generous gift from the Prince of Yunnan. It can be said that I have achieved multiple goals with one stroke. What a wonderful achievement!

Thinking of this, he could hardly suppress the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth almost rose, but in the end he forced himself to restrain himself and covered up the laughter that was about to overflow with a light cough.

Little did he know that Guo Ziyi thought he had concealed his mistake perfectly, but in fact, that fleeting smile had already completely betrayed him.

Xun Feng, who was standing by, was sharp-eyed and careful, and instantly understood Guo Ziyi's mood at the moment - this old man was obviously in extreme excitement, but for some reason he was holding back his laughter, and his appearance was really funny.

Although Xunfeng already knew everything, seeing that Guo Ziyi was deliberately concealing something, he tried his best to remain calm and swallowed the laughter that was about to come out of his mouth to avoid ruining the current atmosphere.

Xun Feng could only pretend to be concerned about Guo Ziyi and asked, "Master Guo, are you okay?"

Guo Ziyi shook his head, took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe my throat is a little dry, just drink some water to moisten it!"

After Guo Ziyi finished speaking, the matter was over.

The two chatted for a while. Guo Ziyi glanced at the clock on the table. It was almost 3 p.m., time for dinner, so he asked, "Xunfeng, it's already dinner time. Why don't you stay and have dinner?"

Xun Feng wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the fact that his mission had not yet been fully accomplished, he said, "Since Lord Guo has invited me, I will not refuse!"

Guo Ziyi didn't expect Xunfeng to agree without any hesitation. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare the meal!"

Guo Ziyi first ordered someone to prepare dinner in the main hall, then called a maid and instructed her, "Go tell the lady that I have guests to entertain. Have dinner in the main hall before going to her."

The maid should have gone down.

Xun Feng felt a little embarrassed. Wouldn't this disturb the reunion of Lord Guo and his wife? So he said, "Why don't you invite Madam Guo to have dinner with you?"

Guo Ziyi immediately stopped Xunfeng's request: "It's okay, I will definitely go to Madam's tonight, it's just a matter of going a little earlier or later. Besides, if Madam comes, I won't be able to drink with you!"

Xunfeng smiled and gave up.

The two chatted for a while and then dinner was ready. Although it was just the two of them, since Xunfeng was considered a distinguished guest, a table full of dishes was also prepared.

Xun Feng wanted to say too much, but Guo Ziyi said, "You are an honored guest, so we should prepare more. At worst, if we can't finish it or the leftover dishes are not eaten, we can give them to the people below."

Xunfeng then gave up, and the two of them sat down at the table. Guo Ziyi first poured a cup of peach blossom wine, and then poured another cup for Xunfeng. They both drank it in one gulp, and then looked very satisfied.

Then they began to eat. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xunfeng began to talk about his mission: "Master Guo, to be honest, the prince still needs your help with something!"

Hearing this, Guo Ziyi realized that it was no wonder that there were gifts and wine. It turned out that he was waiting here. So he put on an expression of listening attentively and said, "I wonder if the prince has any other instructions?"

Xun Feng quickly said, "I don't take your orders, but I just wanted to ask Master Guo if anyone knows anyone who can recommend an auspicious date for moving."

Guo Ziyi laughed and said, "So that's it? It's a simple matter." Then he called Manager Xu over. Manager Xu was so scared that he broke into a sweat. He didn't want to delay any longer and hurried to the main hall.

Steward Xu entered the main hall and bowed, then asked, "Master, what do you want from me?"

Guo Ziyi said, "Tomorrow you go find the sorcerer who used to calculate auspicious days in our house, and ask him to help calculate the nearest auspicious days for moving."

When Manager Xu heard this, he thought to himself: "So that's what it is?" He bowed and said, "Yes, sir, I'll go there tomorrow morning!" After saying this, he received a signal from Guo Ziyi and withdrew.

After giving the order, Guo Ziyi poured Xunfeng another glass of wine and said, "Come on, let's not talk about anything else. Let's get drunk!"

Xunfeng obeyed respectfully, and the two chatted and drank. After they finished the four pots of wine, Guo Ziyi seemed to feel that he was not satisfied yet, so he ordered someone to bring two more jars of wine.

However, Xunfeng was okay. He had been following Dugu Xin for a long time and had developed a good alcohol tolerance. In the end, Guo Ziyi was drunk and was carried back to the lady's courtyard by the servants. Although Xunfeng was also a little drunk, he was not drunk. However, he was obviously not suitable for riding. So Madam Guo arranged a carriage to send Xunfeng back to Prince Guangping's Mansion.
