Chapter 183 Visiting Guo Ziyi
When Dugu Xin led Xunfeng back to Qingfeng Pavilion, it was already approaching noon. After entering the house, Dugu Xin had just settled down when he couldn't contain his inner anxiety and asked, "Xunfeng, how is the newly bought mansion going?"
Xun Feng's face was filled with a bright smile as he responded, "I really want to thank the people Lord Guo Ziyi sent this time! They are truly professionally trained. When I went there this morning, I specifically instructed them to make sure the three master's courtyards are properly tidied. After my afternoon nap, I went back to check and found that everything was already in order!"
Dugu Xin was delighted to hear this and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, that's great! This way, we can officially put moving into the new mansion on the agenda! I also have a good reason to take Yao'er and Yue'er out of the palace!"
Xunfeng responded, "That's right. It's not appropriate for the princesses to stay in the palace for a long time. Besides, it's not convenient for us to visit them often. However, if they can come out, they can still enter the palace every day without any delay." After saying this, his eyes flashed with joy.
After listening to Xunfeng's words, Dugu Xin nodded slightly, agreeing with his point of view. After a moment's thought, he spoke, "Xunfeng, immediately send someone to inquire about auspicious dates for relocation. Once a date is confirmed, I will inform Chu'er promptly and then report the details to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
Xun Feng knew that this matter could not be delayed and the sooner it was resolved, the better. Therefore, he responded without hesitation, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will immediately find a suitable person to check an auspicious date." Seeing Dugu Xin's anxiety, Xun Feng naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Dugu Xin seemed to suddenly remember something important and hurriedly stopped him, adding, "Wait! Xunfeng, why don't you stop by the Guo residence today? Since they've already sent someone here, why not ask if they know of anyone trustworthy enough to help choose an auspicious date? After all, this kind of thing requires professional oversight."
Dugu Xin tapped his hand on the table as he spoke, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and trust. He hoped that this opportunity would not only allow him to find a suitable date for relocation, but also further strengthen his relationship with the Guo family. Xunfeng nodded in understanding, then hurried off to attend to these important matters.
Xunfeng took the gifts he had bought and went to Tianxiang Tower on the way to Guo's Mansion. He bought two pots of peach blossom wine and osmanthus wine before going to Guo's Mansion.
When they arrived at the Guo Mansion, Xunfeng dismounted, took his things and walked towards the Guo Mansion. Although the servant at the door did not know Xunfeng, just by looking at Xunfeng's clothes, he knew that he should be no worse than their master.
So he greeted him with a smile and asked, "Who is this gentleman looking for?"
Xun Feng saw the servant's attitude and thought of Er Wang, but only for a moment. He then said, "I'm looking for Master Guo Ziyi. Tell him that Xun Feng is here to pay a visit and hopes he will come out to meet me."
After hearing what Xun Feng said, the servant thought for a moment and then said to the servant next to him, "Xiao Xu, you take the distinguished guest to the main hall. I will go find the master."
After saying this, the servant quickly disappeared from their sight. The servant named Xiao Xu led Xun Feng all the way to the main hall. After Xun Feng sat down, Xiao Xu said, "Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will send someone to serve tea right away."
Xunfeng nodded slightly to show his agreement, and Xiao Xu went downstairs to ask the maid to bring tea and snacks, while he went back to the door to guard it.
On the other side, the servant also arrived at Xuanhe Garden, which was Madam Guo's courtyard. At this time, Guo Ziyi was visiting his youngest son Guo Yan in Xuanhe Garden, but his youngest son was taken out to play by his wet nurse and nanny, so he did not meet him.
Guo Ziyi was chatting with his wife about Guo Yan's birthday when his wife's maid came to announce, "Madam, Xiaojiu is at the door and says that a distinguished guest named Xunfeng is here to visit the master."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ziyi thought to himself, "He's here so soon?" But he didn't show it on his face. He remained calm and said to Madam Guo, "Madam, this man is the confidant of the King of Yunnan. I have to go and meet him. I'll come to your room later."
Although Mrs. Guo really wanted to say that Xunfeng really knew how to pick the right time, he came to the house just when the master finally stopped visiting the concubines!
But she was also a master of expression management. She did not show it on her face. She just said softly: "Okay, the King of Yunnan was once your superior after all. You should go and meet him. Then I will wait for you to come back..." After saying this, she added an expectant look.
Although Guo Ziyi felt reluctant, he had no choice. After all, he couldn't afford to offend either of the two princes above him. So he reluctantly let go of his wife's hand and turned to leave...
Soon, the servant named Xiaojiu led them to the main hall. Xunfeng was sipping tea at the time. Seeing Guo Ziyi coming, he put down his teacup, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Xunfeng greets Master Guo."
Guo Ziyi quickly gave Xunfeng a fake hand and asked knowingly, "Guard Xunfeng, why are you here? Does the prince have any instructions?"
Xun Feng waved his hand and said, "Master Guo, you are worrying too much. This time I want to thank you for your proper arrangements and solving the prince's urgent problem!"
