At the door of the East City Treasure Pavilion, Guo Song looked at his senior brother Zhang Lei who was sitting on the steps in a daze, he walked to the side and sat down, patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I was kicked out of the house by my sister-in-law?" ”

"No, I just feel a little lost."

"Senior brother, you already have a lot of money, a group of wives and concubines, and a full house of children, what else do you have to be depressed? Could it be that you have an outer room again? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't dare to raise it anymore, I'm depressed because I don't know who my father is and who my grandfather is? Last night, every family sacrificed, and I didn't know who to sacrifice, so I had to get myself drunk and go to bed early. ”

Guo Song smiled and said, "Senior brother is the same as me, I don't know who to sacrifice?" ”

Zhang Leihu glanced at him suspiciously, "You don't know the names of your parents and ancestors, how can you not find someone to sacrifice?" ”

Guo Song felt a little bitter in his heart, the Guo family in Lingzhou was not his parents and ancestors, they were his predecessors' parents and ancestors, he didn't belong to this era at all, how could he sacrifice?

"Senior brother, I have a good proposal, let's go to Qingxu Palace on the fifth day of the new year to worship Master, he is our father."

Zhang Lei slapped his thigh, "Why am I so stupid!" I actually forgot about the master, that's right, I was picked up by the master and raised, he is my father. ”

Zhang Lei's eyes became warm, and he said to Guo Song: "Then let's say okay, let's go to Qingxu Palace together on the fifth day of the new year!" ”

"Of course it's fine, but now that my stomach is empty, what do you say?"

"Let's go! I know there are still a lot of restaurants that are open, so let's go and have a drink together. ”

.........

The two came to Jinchang Restaurant, the New Year of the Tang Dynasty was mainly based on sacrifices, the atmosphere of the festival was not strong, and the real celebration day of the people of the Tang Dynasty was to the fifteenth day of the first month.

Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are still many shops doing business, including Zhang Lei's wine shop and jewelry pavilion are open normally, and most of the restaurants are also open, but it is still the mourning period of the first emperor, and music shops, dance shops, brothels, teaching workshops and other sound and sensual places are not allowed to operate, and the ban will not be lifted until the fifth day of the first lunar month.

It is also for this reason, the business of the restaurant is generally good, although it is still noon, the Jinchang restaurant is full of guests, the bustle is abnormal, most of them are the scholars who enter Beijing to catch the exam, although many scholars will set off from home after the New Year, but there are still many scholars who rushed to the capital a few months ago, on the one hand, you can find a comfortable place to stay, on the other hand, you can also find a famous teacher to guide you, for the scholars who have passed the examination, the guidance of the famous teacher is particularly important, which means that they are likely to bet on the exam questions.

Guo Song let two entourages eat and drink on the first floor, he and Zhang Lei went up to the second floor, Zhang Lei had a bag seat by the window on the second floor, unless he had eaten and left, the restaurant was not allowed to let others sit in this seat, which required him to pay the price of ten yuan a month.

Zhang Lei ordered more than a dozen dishes and asked for two pots of wine, Gaochang wine is sold here, the grade is a little worse, it belongs to the mid-range wine, the taste is not bad, of course, it can't be compared with Meishou wine.

Zhang Lei poured Guo Song full of wine and said, "Senior brother, do you say that the master has really become an immortal?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Lei said with a smile: "I heard the senior brother say that if you become an immortal, you will not stay in the physical body, and you will soar directly, and the master will leave the physical body, which is called the earth immortal, I estimate that the earth immortal is not the land lord or the like?" ”

"You're thinking too much."

Guo Song remembered something again, so he said: "Uncle Xue Shi let us go to his house as a guest in the past two days, I agreed for you, when are you free?" ”

Zhang Lei thought for a while and said: "Not tomorrow, tomorrow I will invite all the shopkeepers and guys to dinner, then the day after tomorrow!" The day after tomorrow, when I have time, I will take your sister-in-law and two children with me, Caiyun is going to give birth this month, so she will not go. ”

"Then you send someone to send a reply to the Xue Mansion so that the family can prepare."

Zhang Lei nodded, picked up the wine glass and said: "We have five senior brothers, the second is in Hehuang, and the fourth is in Qizhou, when can our five senior brothers get together and drink together in front of the master's body statue, then we will return to Kongtong Mountain." ”

As he was talking, a few soldiers came up from downstairs, and the first officer asked in a loud voice, "Is there any room left?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "I'm really sorry, the private rooms are full, how many of you are there?" I'll figure it out for you on the second floor. ”

"There are three people in my house and friends, and you can also be by the window on the second floor, let's go downstairs, more than a dozen brothers, and arrange three tables."

The shopkeeper felt bitter for a while, and he had to remove the dozens of jars of wine and add three tables, but he didn't know if there was enough space.

At this time, the drinker behind Guo Song got up and said, "We have eaten, the money is on the table, a total of four hundred Wen, you can order it yourself." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and there happened to be a table by the window, and he said to the officer: "You are lucky, you have a window seat, I will reserve it for you, and then I will find you a seat downstairs." ”

The shopkeeper told the man to clean up the table and keep his seat.

Not long after, three middle-aged court officials came up from the staircase, all of them were burly and dignified, although they were wearing civilian official clothes, they could see that they were all military generals.

The leader of the official should be a native of Chang'an, speaking an authentic Chang'an dialect,

"Zhu Envoy, Li Jun, please come here!"

The three of them walked upstairs, Guo Song instinctively glanced at it, he actually found that there was an acquaintance here, that Li Junenvoy, wasn't it Li Huaiguang, the former Shuofang Jiedu envoy who was dismissed? I want to bear the charge of the fiasco defeat of the Shuofang army.

It is said that under the strong recommendation of Chang Gon, he served as the military envoy of the Fengxiang Army, but he didn't expect to meet here today, and the road is really narrow.

At this time, Li Huaiguang also saw Guo Song, his eyes suddenly narrowed, he snorted lightly, whispered a few words, the other two looked at Guo Song, a big-faced official next to him showed curiosity, and the local official who was the leader looked at Guo Song with an unforgettable hatred.

Guo Song immediately realized that he had met an enemy.

"Senior brother, who is that person?" Guo Song nodded at the staircase, "The one at the front!" ”

Zhang Lei glanced at it quickly, lowered his voice and said to Guo Song: "Yuan Lu, it seems to be General Xiaowei on the left, or General Xiaowei on the right?" I can't remember exactly, but I've been to our Treasure Pavilion. ”

"People from the Yuan family?"

"Exactly! The second son of Yuan Xuanhu, the head of the Yuan family. ”

Guo Song understood, he was the second uncle of Lantern Festival, no wonder he hated himself so much.

"What about the latter one? Who is the big black cake face? ”

"You don't know him, Zhu Zhu, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, turned out to be the envoy of Fan Yangjiedu, and he was miserable by his brother, it was him!"

It turned out to be Zhu Zhu, who was the emperor of the Jingyuan mutiny in history, and he looked like a hero.

Guo Song was deeply speechless about many of the practices of the Tang Dynasty, such as this Zhu Zhu, who was originally a subordinate of Zhu Xicai, the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, one of the Hebei feudal towns, who killed Zhu Xicai and took over the status of Youzhou Domain, and was later deceived by his brother Zhu Tao to go to Chang'an, but Zhu Tao took the opportunity to occupy his position and became Youzhou Domain.

It is clear that such an ambitious person, even if the court does not kill him and imprison him, at least he can no longer be used, let him have nothing to do, and retire to the end, but the court still wants to reuse him, and named him the envoy of Longyoujie, so that he can hold tens of thousands of military power, and finally caused the Jingyuan Mutiny, a typical tiger breeding, to a certain extent, the division of the feudal town is also the arrogance of the imperial court, extremely stupid, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted.

Zhu Zhu and the three of them sat at a table behind Guo Song, the two people only ate their own, it looked no different, but the atmosphere was a little subtle, at this time, Li Huaiguang took a glass of wine and walked in front of Guo Song, and said with a dry smile: "I heard that Xiao Guo Rongrong was promoted to the governor of Ganzhou, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, congratulations, come!" I salute Guo Dudu with a glass of wine. ”

Guo Song picked up the wine glass and said lightly: "The world seems to be very big, in fact, our generals have very little room for maneuver, maybe one day we will become colleagues again, I hope this glass of wine can make us forget the unpleasantness of the past and look forward!" ”

Without waiting for Li Huaiguang to speak, Yuan Lu snorted heavily, "It's easy to say, some hatred can be forgotten, but some hatred is endless, the so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late." ”

Guo Song sneered and said: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, people offend me for a foot, I will pay it back tenfold, since some families must make strong enemies for themselves, then I want to see, the so-called century-old family can still have a few years left, the mountains do not turn around, let's see!" ”

He took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table, "Let's go!" ”

He ignored the three of them anymore, got up and walked downstairs, Zhang Lei hurriedly followed, and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Yuan Lu's face was red and white, and he was about to have a seizure, but Zhu Jun held him down and shook his head, "He is in the limelight, and the Yuan family will only bring humiliation on himself if he conflicts with him now, bear with it!" ”

Yuan Lu hated and smashed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Little bastard, sooner or later I will break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Zhu Jun secretly despised in his heart, on the one hand, he kept saying that the gentleman would take revenge, and it was not too late for ten years, but on the other hand, he jumped up and shouted, I want revenge, let the enemy be vigilant, how stupid, no wonder these Guan Long disciples can't make a big deal.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Yuan Lu to go down to order, Zhu Zhu asked Li Huaiguang in a low voice, "How is this Guo Song?" ”

Li Huaiguang's eyes became a little cold, and he said lightly: "This person is superb in martial arts, ruthless, murderous, but his mind is good, he is good at seizing opportunities, and he has a good relationship with the two sons of heaven. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and asked again: "What kind of enmity does the Yuan family have with him?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, it seems that a few months ago, it was rumored that the Yuan family was assassinating the East Palace, and the Yuan family insisted that they were framed, looking at Yuan Lu's deep hatred, I guess it has nothing to do with this Guo Song."

Zhu Jun smiled, "This matter is interesting, let's go back and probe Yuan Lu's tone and see what is going on?" ”
