Chapter 257: Gem Conjecture
Xue Tao opened the door, it turned out to be her father and mother outside the door, few parents came to look for her together, she hurriedly let her parents into the house, looking at them with a puzzled face, they came to find themselves together, do you want to tell yourself a family affair?
In fact, Xue Yun has never worried about her daughter's marriage, she is still young now, and it is still too early to talk about marriage, but her mother Han is heartbroken for her daughter's lifelong event.
However, Mrs. Yang was vague about this, every time she mentioned this matter, she would always talk about him left and right, after a long time, the Han family also understood the thoughts of the Yang family, and felt that the two sides were not worthy, the other party was the Hongnong Yang family, at least to marry the daughter of the Cui family or the Pei family, or marry the Guanlong nobles.
The ordinary family Han family can't look down on it, but her husband is a five-grade official of the imperial court, how can her daughter marry at a low place, and she herself has had enough of the hardships of poverty, no matter what, her daughter must marry into a rich and noble family.
Xue Yun and Han sat down, Xue Yun wanted to speak and stopped, but Han was still happy, and directly took out the gem and spread it on the palm of his hand, "Tao'er, this is your gem!" ”
Xue Tao was stunned, hurriedly opened the bookcase, took out the box, the box was already empty, she suddenly became angry and annoyed: "Mother, how can you take my things casually?" ”
If before, Han really didn't know how to answer, but now that she knows the value of the gem, she naturally becomes arrogant, "Mother is not taking your things, but you put expensive things around, do you know how much this gem is worth?" In case it is stolen by outsiders, this loss is too great. ”
Xue Tao also knew that this gem was expensive, but she didn't know how expensive it was, and besides, it was something given to her by Guo Song, and it had nothing to do with the value.
At this time, Xue Yun said slowly: "Tao'er, with our family's financial resources, we can't have such a precious gem, can you tell my father where this gem came from?" ”
Xue Tao didn't lie, and said for a while: "Daddy, this is a friend sent me." ”
"Friends?"
Han asked, "Who is it?" Who will give you gems worth thousands of dollars? ”
'Worth thousands of dollars?' ’
Xue Tao was also a little frightened, she thought it was worth a hundred yuan at most, "Mother, you are too exaggerated!" How could it be so precious. ”
Xue Yun sighed, "Tao'er, your mother didn't lie to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wore the same gem, he said it himself, this gem is worth a five-acre mansion in Chang'an, and it is estimated that it is still a place like Xuanyangfang and Chongrenfang, isn't that thousands of dollars?" You have to tell us who gave it to you. ”
Xue Tao couldn't hide it, lowered his head and whispered: "It's really an ordinary friend, it's just that he is more bold, take a bunch of gems and let his daughter take one, and his daughter can't hinder his kindness, so she takes one casually, if she knows that it is so valuable, her daughter will not take it." ”
"What's this man's name?" Xue Yun continued to ask.
"Daddy knows him, his name is Guo Song."
Xue Yun's mouth opened wide all of a sudden, the crown prince told him last month that it was recommended by Guo Song to transfer him to the East Palace, and he also wondered that he and Guo Song had no relatives and no reason, and they didn't even know each other at all, how could he recommend himself? It turns out that the roots are in the daughter's place.
Han's reaction was extremely fast, and she immediately remembered, didn't Guo Song know that young man from the Zhao family? I don't know how thick the sky is, and I dare to go against Xiangguo, Han has a very bad impression of Guo Song.
Han raised his eyebrows and said, "What, you're still dating him?" ”
"Mother, my daughter didn't have a relationship with him, but I met him in Luoyang last time, and we met in Pingshui, and now my daughter doesn't know where he is."
Han sneered, "When you meet in Pingshui, he will give you such a precious gem, you treat your mother as a three-year-old child." ”
Xue Tao was anxious, "I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." ”
As soon as she turned around, she ignored her mother.
Xue Yun understood a little, it is estimated that Guo Song fell in love with his daughter!
He smiled and said, "This Guo Song is not an ordinary person!" ”
Hearing his father talk about Guo Song, Xue Tao's ears immediately stood up, and Han asked puzzledly: "He offended Xiangguo, will he have a good life?" ”
"What kind of thing do you say, Yuan Zai was given death by the whole family last year, and now many people have no chance to offend him."
"Daddy, what do you mean when you say he's not an ordinary person?" Xue Tao couldn't help but ask.
Xue Yun smiled and said to his daughter: "Yuan Zai cleaned up all his official titles and titles, but after the fall of Yuan Zai last fall, Guo Song was not only reinstated as an official, but also promoted to the Duke of Lingwu County, and was appointed as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and was sent to the three towns of the city by the envoy, although it is located in a remote area, but it is also a unique party, just after taking office, he encountered a large-scale attack by Xue Yantuo's army, he led the army to defeat Xue Yantuo's army, and was rewarded by the imperial court. ”
After speaking, he glanced at his daughter meaningfully, and Xue Tao also realized that he had shown his face, she blushed and immediately turned away.
Han was still in shock, not noticing the subtle changes in her daughter, she muttered to herself: "So young, he is actually a county magistrate, and he is also a assassin, what is his background?" ”
"Husband, is he Guo Ziyi's nephew or grandson?" Han asked.
Xue Yun shook his head, "I don't know much about this, but it shouldn't feel like it, this person's background is very mysterious, the imperial court announcement said that he went to Anxi and Beiting as an envoy of the Son of Heaven and made great contributions, but there are rumors that Yu Chaoenfu is related to him, saying that he is the confidant of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Husband just said that he was in the surrender city?"
"To be precise, in Fengzhou, it is farther than Lingzhou, and he will not be able to come back after many years."
Han slowly became listless, Fengzhou was too far away and unrealistic, she glanced at the gem in her hand, it was not as reliable as this gem.
"Tao'er, what are you going to do with this gem?" Han asked.
"My daughter is going to give him back the gem, it's too valuable, I can't ask for it!" Xue Tao said without hesitation.
Han Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The gem is someone else's intention to give you, you return it like this, it's too hurtful, no, you can't return it." ”
Xue Tao knew that her mother was greedy, she frowned, and turned to her father for help, "Daddy, we can't ask for this gem." ”
Xue Yun was sandwiched between his daughter and his wife, it was really a bit difficult, his original intention was to support his daughter, the gem was indeed too valuable, and he couldn't easily accept such a valuable gift, but he also knew that if he really did this, his wife would definitely find it difficult to accept.
He thought for a moment and said to his daughter, "So be it! You keep the gem first, don't rush to return it, and when you find the right opportunity later, you will mention this matter, if he really refuses to ask for it, I think it doesn't hurt you to take it, you don't use how much it is worth to measure, just treat it as a small gift from a friend. ”
Xue Yun can indeed speak, and he actually moved his daughter, Xue Tao remembered what Guo Song said, "In my opinion, it is a beautiful stone, give it to you as a souvenir." ’
Xue Tao nodded, "Okay! I'll just put it away. ”
Han hurriedly added: "You have to hide it well and leave it for you as a dowry in the future." ”
Xue Tao glanced at his mother angrily, and stretched out his hand, "You return the gem to me first!" ”
Han Shi was very reluctant to press the gem in the palm of his child's hand, and said hatefully: "Dead girl, my mother hurts you for nothing." ”
Xue Yun got up and smiled, "Madam, let's go back!" It's not too early, let Tao'er rest. ”
Back in the room, Han asked unwillingly, "Husband, Tao'er won't really return the gem to that surnamed Guo, right?" ”
Xue Yun asked rhetorically, "Don't you even know your own daughter?" ”
"That's right, she will definitely return it to others, this girl is more stubborn than a cow!" Han gritted his teeth with hatred.
Xue Yun smiled slightly, "However, if she wants to pay it back, others may not be willing to accept it, so there is a chance that this gem is still in Tao'er's hands in the end." ”
Han Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Husband, can you finish your words at one time, let my heart hang and fall again." ”
"That's because your heart is on gems, and if you put your heart on your daughter, you understand what I'm talking about?"
Han pondered carefully, and suddenly understood, "You mean, this Guo Gongzi likes our daughter?" ”
"What do you say? A gem that can be exchanged for a house in Chang'an is given to Tao'er, if it is really like Tao'er said, do you think it is possible? ”
Han's heart was hung up again, and she was so anxious that she autobiography, "Husband, we have to figure out, what is the background of this Guo Gongzi, and where is he from?" What do my parents do, what is the family situation, I am really anxious. ”
Xue Yun laughed, "Don't worry, Tao'er is less than eighteen years old, I wouldn't consider letting her marry, this is many years later, and now it's self-inflicted." ”
Han did not agree with her husband's opinion, she sat in the chair and was stunned, thinking in her heart how to extract more news from her daughter's mouth.
