'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums sounded, and the soldiers rushed from all directions to the center of the school field.

In a moment, 6,000 soldiers were gathered, with 100 people as a team, a battalion of five teams, and the captain with the troops stood at the front of the team, holding the battalion flag, and behind him were five brigade commanders.

The soldiers were in good order, with their heads held high and their morale high.

At this time, Guo Song slowly stepped onto the high platform, and the soldiers already knew from the new lieutenant that this young general was their future commander, that is, the famous 'Guo fool' who broke his family and took out 120,000 yuan to compensate the fallen soldiers.

Guo Song's self-payment of 120,000 yuan to compensate the fallen soldiers has long been a household name in Chang'an, and various versions evolved to the end, and it became that Guo Song went bankrupt and took out 120,000 yuan to compensate the fallen soldiers.

Many people in Chang'an said that he was stupid, and called him 'Guo Fool' behind his back, but in the hearts of the soldiers, this is the main general who is worthy of their life.

"Brothers!"

Guo Song's voice was clear and penetrating, and all the soldiers on the school field could hear it.

"I am Guo Song, the envoy of the Three Towns, from today onwards, I am your commander, and you will follow me to Fengzhou."

Guo Song slowly looked at the soldiers, and said unhurriedly: "Fengzhou and Lingzhou have similar climates, but the land is fertile, the water is sufficient, and the grain is abundant, we exchange grain and grassland people for cattle and sheep, which allows the soldiers to eat well and eat well, and next year there will be many soldiers' families moving to Fengzhou, they will all get unimaginable land in their hometown, they can be exempt from taxes, they can pass it on to their children and grandchildren, live and work in peace and contentment, if you want, you can also move your family members to Fengzhou, of course, this is voluntary, and you will not force everyone to ......"

Early the next morning, 6,000 troops followed Guo Song north, and Duan Xiushi sent them dozens of miles away, all the way to see the army go away, and he himself would bid farewell to this land he loved.

.........

In mid-November, a heavy snowfall came unexpectedly, turning Chang'an into a world of ice and snow overnight.

It was the first snow of the year, and people were pleasantly surprised, as soon as the snow stopped, countless children ran out of the house to have snowball fights, build snowmen, pull snowmobiles, run and laugh in the snow.

Xue Tao's mood was not very good in the past two days, mainly because her parents had a big quarrel a few days ago, and the imperial court began to allocate official rooms, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially left a three-acre mansion to his father, but his father thought that he was not qualified enough and would be gossiped about, so he gave this official house to officials with higher qualifications.

Because of this, my mother cried and made trouble, and my father almost wrote a letter of resignation in a fit of anger.

Xue Tao can understand his mother's difficulties very well, his father's income is not high, and some of his savings in his early years have been bought one after another, resulting in no savings in the family, but his father is a five-grade official after all, and he has to maintain some dignity more or less, if he wants to hire a domestic servant, he has to pay wages and rent a house, the mud wall and grass house is too bad, and it is not easy to live in Chang'an, just renting this small yard will cost half of his father's income every month, and the landlord is still shouting all day long to raise the rent, and the clothes cannot be worn too badly.

Every month, my mother tried her best to save money, but she still couldn't make ends meet, so she had to borrow money from her mother's family, but she still had two uncles, the younger uncle had not yet started a family, and her grandfather was also a poor teacher, so how could she lend money to her mother.

Xue Tao is very aware of the poverty in his family and the embarrassment of his mother, every time the official wife gathers, his mother will be ridiculed behind her back, it is nothing more than that her mother always wears that dress.

Although Xue Tao also felt that it was right for her father to insist on his principles, the quarrel between her parents still brought her a lot of pressure and made her feel depressed.

Xue Tao looked at the box in her bookcase again, several times, she really wanted to sell that gem, there was no more trouble at home, but after selling the gem, she felt sorry for Guo Song, the gift that others gave her, but she sold it, what is it?

At this time, the maid Xiao'e said at the door: "Madame asked the girl to change her clothes quickly, and she is about to leave." ”

Xue Tao sighed, "You tell my mother, I don't want to go." ”

Xiao'e hesitated and said, "The girl will go and tell Madame herself!" Madame is angry and will scold me. ”

"Forget it, you go play!"

Xiao'e saluted and ran away in a hurry.

Xue Tao came to the door with his hands in his hands, looking at the snow in the yard, the two little maids were happily building snowmen in the yard, if it was usual, she would definitely be very interested in running up to participate, but now she is not in the mood.

Mother is going to Yang Langzhong's mansion again, and she wants to take herself with her, but she wants Mrs. Yang's sister to take a look at herself, Mrs. Yang's brother-in-law heard that he is doing a long history in other places, and he has a son who has just turned eighteen years old.

It's just that his family is relatively rich, so his mother was moved and forced herself to go on a blind date.

Thinking of these troublesome things, Xue Tao was really upset.

At this time, Uncle Ding, the housekeeper, said at the gate of the courtyard: "Girl, there are people looking outside." ”

"Uncle Ding, who is looking for me?"

"It's a Taoist priest, who said that he was the abbot of Qingxu Palace, and someone asked him to send something to the girl."

Xue Tao was taken aback, "Is it the Qingxu Palace that enshrines the flesh statue of the Daoist Immortal?" ”

"It seems to be that, Chang'an is very famous."

Qingxu Palace is now very famous in Chang'an, because it enshrines the flesh statue of the immortal, many official eunuchs will go to incense to make a wish, Xue Tao also went to make a wish with his mother two months ago.

The abbot of the Qingxu Palace came to find him, why is this?

She wondered and walked out quickly.

Outside the gate, the heavenly master Li Ganfeng held the jade handle and whisked the dust, wearing a nine-color robe, wearing a purple gold crown, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, and the senior brother Ganfeng who was cooking in Kongtong Mountain was not a person at all, he is now the imperial seal of the heavenly master, given the surname Li, the full name is Li Ganfeng, every day in and out of the mansion of the powerful, the temperament is completely a fairy wind Dao bone of the true person.

Usually others are waiting for him, standing at the door and waiting for someone like today, it still very rare, no way, what the junior brother explained, he had to do it himself, and there were two Taoist boys standing behind him, holding a long sandalwood box.

At this time, Xue Tao walked out quickly, Gan Feng's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart, what a fairy little lady, no wonder the junior brother never forgot her.

"Is a real person looking for me?" Xue Tao recognized Gan Feng, who was really the abbot of Qingxu Palace.

Gan Fengji saluted, "Amitayus Buddha, the poor Tao is entrusted by others, and I have come to send a thing to the female benefactor." ”

He turned around and waved his hand, and Xiao Daotong stepped forward and presented the box to Xue Tao.

"Who sent this?" Xue Tao asked strangely.

"It's my junior brother, the girl should know, his name is Guo Song."

"Ahh Xue Tao was stunned for a moment.

"Immortal Chief, I'm a little confused, isn't Brother Guo in Fengzhou? How could he be the junior disciple of the Immortal Chief. ”

Gan Feng smiled, "He used to be a Taoist priest, and later he became vulgar, but he is still my junior brother, if the girl has any difficulties in the future, just tell me that as long as the Qingxu Palace can solve it, I will definitely do my best to help." ”

"Thank you, Immortal!"

"Then I'll go back first, Miss Xue, we'll have a date later."

Gan Feng saluted Xue Tao, boarded the carriage, and the carriage started and drove towards the outside of the fangmen.

Xue Tao had mixed feelings in his heart, Guo Song did not forget himself, went to Fengzhou, and asked people to give gifts to him.

At this moment, the haze that had accumulated in her heart for several days was swept away by the sudden joy, and she hurried back to the house with the wooden box.

Back in the room, she put the wooden box on the table, untied the silk on it, and opened the box, she suddenly exclaimed, and the little maid next to her also exclaimed.

Inside the box is a snow-white fox fur scarf like silver satin, which glistens silver in natural light, and is extremely soft to touch.

Xue Tao had never seen such a good white fox fur, she gently stroked the fur, and a sweet feeling of being cared for quietly seeped into her heart.

"Girl, there's another letter here."

Xue Tao also saw it, it was a card, she quickly picked it up, and recognized Guo Song's vigorous handwriting at a glance.

'Hunting in early spring, offering the girl a little warmth. ’

It turned out to be the white fox he personally hunted, and Xue Tao's mind appeared in the heroic posture of Guo Song flying horses galloping and hunting foxes with a bow, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Tao'er, are you going or not?"

Mother Han walked in angrily, but she saw the white fox fur fur in her daughter's hand at a glance, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Tao'er, this.... Where did this come from? ”

Xue Tao's face turned red and he whispered, "It was sent to me by a friend." ”

"Nonsense, which friend would give you something so valuable?"

Han stepped forward to take a closer look at the leather fox, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This.... It's precious. ”

"Mother, is this leather valuable?"

"Of course, Mrs. Yang also has such a silver fox fur scarf, she is very proud, saying that she bought it for five thousand yuan, but it is far worse than this, without the silver luster of this, this kind of leather does not have eight or nine thousand yuan and does not want to buy it."

She stared at her daughter with wide eyes, "Tell my mother, who gave it to you?" ”

Xue Tao's face turned even redder, and he turned his back, "Didn't I tell you?" It was sent by a friend, and he just asked someone to send it. ”

Who would give their daughter such an expensive gift?

Han's mind suddenly moved, and she thought of the precious sapphire.

"It was given to you by Guo Gongzi?"

"Yes." Xue Tao's voice was like mosquito language.

"He's back in Beijing?"

"No, he sent it to someone."

This young man really has a heart for his daughter!

At this time, no matter how stupid Han was, he could feel that Guo Gongzi's deep affection for his daughter.

However, for Han's family, the depth of the relationship needs to be measured by money, she quickly erected a ruler in her heart, the sapphire is worth at least 10,000 yuan, she secretly took her daughter's sapphire to the East City Treasure Pavilion to appraise it, the other party opened her mouth is 5,000 guan purchase, which really frightened her, but later she found that the sapphire worth 5,000 yuan in the treasure pavilion is far less blue than her daughter's sapphire, and she understands the preciousness of that gem.

What about this fox pelt? At least it is worth eight or nine thousand guan, and the other party has given his daughter at least fifteen thousand yuan as a gift.

She remembered the silver bracelet that Mrs. Yang's sister gave to her daughter last time, which was less than two or two, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that there was really no need to take her daughter to meet Mrs. Yang's sister today.

Han's mood suddenly improved, no matter what, there are at least more than 10,000 yuan of valuable things at home to build a foundation! The sky won't fall.
