At this time, several female guests came over and asked, "Who was that young man just now?" ”

Guo Song's temperament and image are indeed very eye-catching, although several noble ladies are chatting, but their eyes do not let go of the highlights around them, Guo Song's arrival immediately attracted their attention.

Zhao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said: "He is a friend of my nephew, called Guo Song, it seems that he is still a county marquis, I really don't know which child it is." ”

Several noble ladies reacted very quickly, "Could it be the child of Concubine Guo Shu's family?" ”

What they thought of was not Guo Ziyi, but the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, and it was very possible for a relative to be crowned a high lord.

"The Guo family is already angry, unless his surname is Dugu, that is a good match."

Several noble ladies laughed tacitly, and the muscles on Zhao Yunhai's face twitched, these women really dared to speak, and the sister-in-law of the Dugu family got them? That's to marry a princess or a county lord.

However, Zhao Yunhai also wondered in his heart, if this Guo Song is not Guo Ziyi's grandson, is he really the nephew of Guo Shufei's family?

........

Guo Song entered the Zhao Mansion, there were already a lot of guests in the Zhao Mansion, and there were officials everywhere who gathered in twos and threes to talk, at this time it was an opportunity to get in touch and establish relationships.

"Guo Gongzi, I'll show you the seat, there are too many people later, it's hard to find!"

"Thank you!"

The children of the Zhao family were very polite, and took Guo Song all the way to the East Courtyard, and the East Courtyard also built a huge shed, where hundreds of guests dined, and the seats were not sitting at random, and each seat had a name written on it.

"Here!"

The Zhao family quickly found a seat for Guo Song, which was not bad, just on the edge of the aisle, and the seat was relatively spacious, so it would be uncomfortable if it was sandwiched in the middle.

The children of the Zhao family asked a maid to serve Guo Song a cup of tea, and smiled apologetically: "The son rests first, and I have to go to the gate to greet the guests, so I will be absent first." ”

"Zhao Gongzi is casual!"

The Zhao family clasped their fists and saluted, and then hurried away.

Guo Song sat on the couch and drank a few sips of tea slowly, and there were five or six single officials like him in the greenhouse, all of whom sat alone and drank water, and the Zhao family was not bad to themselves, it was still a cup of sencha.

Guo Song drank a few sips of tea, and suddenly someone behind him called him, "Guo Gongzi!" ”

As soon as Guo Song turned around, he was immediately overjoyed, the person who called him turned out to be Li An, the chief steward of the imperial business, and he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Uncle An, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Li An is a very special existence in Chang'an, he is not a court official, but he is well-connected, the court magnates basically know him, and even the Son of Heaven has a good personal relationship with him.

"When did you come back, why didn't you come and see me?" Ang Lee smiled.

"I've been back for a while, and I've been busy with the affairs of the memorials, and I didn't finish it until yesterday, no, I received an invitation from the Zhao family again."

Li An and Guo Song sat down and said with a slight smile: "You paid 120,000 yuan out of your own pocket to give a bereavement pension to the families of the fallen soldiers, and it has spread in Chang'an, virtuous nephew, most people say you are stupid!" ”

Guo Song shook his head and said: "I want to have a clear conscience, no matter what others say about me!" ”

"But I think it's a good deal, in business, don't blame me for being disrespectful."

Guo Song smiled and said: "I didn't do it for others to see, what Uncle An thinks, of course I won't interfere!" ”

"Have you ever heard the story of a daughter buying bones? Your move is to buy bones with a thousand dollars, which shows that you value love and righteousness, what is money, and your reputation in Datang is the most important thing. ”

Guo Song smiled bitterly, he didn't think about it like this, he just hoped that the soldiers could rest in peace.

Guo Song didn't want to talk about it, so he diverted the topic, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Uncle An for giving us Duobao Pavilion, Uncle An has always taken care of my business." ”

Li An smiled, "That incident actually has nothing to do with you, I am very close to your senior brother, although Duobao Pavilion makes money, for me, there are too many ways to make money, I have no children and no daughters, and I don't need so much money, that time your senior brother came to me and begged me to introduce a business path, I just happened to want to let go of Duobao Pavilion, so I gave him a favor, and the other owners are all royal princes, I heard that I didn't do it, and I also sold it to your senior brother, in fact, it was also the luck of the senior brother." ”

"He's always been lucky!"

Li An pondered and said, "There is one more thing I have to remind you, maybe you won't care, but I can't help but say it." ”

"Uncle An, just say!"

Li An lowered his voice and said, "I advise you to try to have as little contact with King Zhao as possible, and don't stand on the wrong side on key issues." ”

"Did Uncle An hear anything?"

"Some things spread very quickly in the officialdom, such as you coming back from Hexi with King Zhao, and King Zhao sending you a tent, these courts have already spread, once you are branded as King Zhao, it will not be good for you!"

Guo Song didn't expect these things to spread so quickly, so would the matter of him and Zhao Wang having dinner be known?

Guo Song took out a piece of mutton fat seed jade from his arms and handed it to Li An, "This is what I got in Anxi, and this piece of jade was given to Uncle An." ”

Li An loved jade, and hurriedly took the jade to take a closer look, only to see that this piece of jade was as white as fat, without a trace of flaws, and there was a little sprinkling of gold on it, and he was overjoyed.

"Virtuous nephew, did you get a lot of jade in Anxi?"

Guo Song said angrily: "No matter how much jade I have in Anxi, I don't have as much as your old collection, if you are interested, you can go to Duobao Pavilion to have a look, they have collected a lot of jade from my soldiers." ”

"Good! I'll go to Duobao Pavilion tomorrow. ”

At this time, someone shouted outside the tent: "Lao An, go!" ”

Li An smiled at Guo Song and said, "Someone asked me to listen to the music, do you want to go together?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, and Li An smiled, "Young man, you have to get in touch with women more, so that you can feel that life is actually very beautiful." ”

"Uncle An, go! I want to go to the garden. ”

"Okay, I'll go first, and I'll come back to you later."

Li An smiled and patted him on the shoulder and left, Guo Song drank two more sips of tea, and felt a little bored while sitting, so he got up and walked outside.

There are more and more guests in the Zhao Mansion, and officials can be seen everywhere in the east courtyard, west courtyard and atrium, and all the buildings and pavilions are already full, and the women of the Tang Dynasty do not need to avoid it, they also gather together to chat.

Guo Song walked around, and simply went to the backyard garden, the backyard is not open to guests, but the garden can, and there is a corridor in the east and west courtyards to walk through.

The back garden of Zhao's mansion is a long and narrow type, about 20 acres, in fact, it is arranged along a small river that passes through the house, it is mid-spring at this time, the garden is purple and red, and it is extraordinarily enchanting, but when it enters the garden, Guo Song regrets it, here is almost the world of young girls, there are more than 100 girls in the garden to enjoy the flowers.

Most of them wore various Luo skirts, their arms wrapped around light gauze, their skin was white, and they were full of youthful vitality, but there were also many young men in the garden, but they were clearly looking at the flowers.

All kinds of banquets are also an opportunity for young people to meet and understand, there is no custom of blind date in the Tang Dynasty, most of the young people know through various activities, and then ask their parents to ask for kiss, if the difference is not too big, parents will generally fulfill the request of their children.

Of course, there are also many marriages between the children of powerful officials and eunuchs for a certain purpose, especially the Guanlong nobles, and marriage is a kind of bond between them, which is basically a political marriage.

Guo Song felt that there were several girls whispering about himself not far away, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't come to appreciate beauty.

He hurriedly turned and walked back, crossing a small bridge, on which there was also a pavilion, but saw a young girl leaning on the railing and looking at the catkins floating in the wind.

She wears a light green long-breasted skirt, a half-sleeved undergarment, a yellow silk silk around her arms, a single ring of moon-looking buns on her hair, and a step hairpin obliquely, because her back is facing Guo Song, she can't see her appearance, but she feels that her skin is as crystal as snow, her snow-white neck is beautiful and long, and her figure is slender, about one meter six.

Guo Song walked briskly past her, but heard her chanting poetry in a low voice:

In February, poplar flowers are light and faint,

The spring breeze is swaying.

His house was a ruthless thing,

One flies south and then north.
