Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
The Duan family received the letter and thus knew that Guo Shu had come to the capital. However, although Guo Shu had sent someone to deliver things, he had never come in person due to his studies. This was the first time he had come to visit them.
Guo Shu asked the gatekeeper of the Duan family to let him see the family. In addition, Master Duan happened to be at the mansion. His sister had written that this nephew was talented in his studies. Since he had come to visit, Master Duan also wanted to see him.
If it were really possible, his daughter's marriage was still undecided! Anyway, he didn't think what Duan Kun did was that serious, after all, in his opinion, the Guo family was not as good as their Duan family.
Ultimately, Duan Kun is still somewhat like his father, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant.
Guo Shu was politely invited into the study by the steward beside Master Duan.
Master Duan looked Guo Shu up and down. His eyes were clear, his appearance was handsome, and his back was straight. He looked like a good boy. He secretly compared the boy in front of him with his own sons and found that there was really no comparison.
Although the sons are all his own flesh and blood, he couldn't bring himself to say anything that went against his conscience.
Master Duan had a good impression of Guo Shu, and it didn't matter that his daughter was a year or two older than Guo Shu.
Guo Shu was unaware that he was already being treated as a son-in-law by Master Duan. He just felt uneasy and uneasy about the way Master Duan looked at him.
"I have met Uncle Duan."
"Guo Shu, right? Don't be shy, sit down and let's talk."
Guo Shu thought for a moment and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Duan, but I have something to say to you today, and I must leave now."
So there's no need to sit.
Master Duan asked in confusion, "What is it? Tell me."
Guo Shu said with a conflicted expression, "Originally, I shouldn't have come to disturb Uncle Duan's peace and quiet, but I have no choice."
Upon hearing this, Master Duan also realized that something was amiss.
Guo Shu continued, "Today, I went to the restaurant to say goodbye to my classmates and happened to run into my cousin Duan. I guess my cousin Duan still remembers what happened in Jinghai County when he cornered me in a private room. Otherwise, if a kind person had helped me, I would probably have lost my life. I have no other thoughts. I hope Uncle Duan can send two people to take me back to my hometown."
Guo Shu knew that Master Duan probably wouldn't be happy with what he said, since Duan Kun was his only legitimate son. But he had no choice. Although it wasn't far from the capital to Jinghai County, it would still take two days to get there, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get back!
