Chapter 123: Midnight Visitor

Guo Song was fine in the afternoon, so he personally blended the first jar of Meishou wine in the wine shop, the degree is about 40 degrees, the entrance is mellow and sweet, and there is a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

And the biggest feature is that Meiju sake can be hung in the cup, which is not found in other sake.

As for the packaging of wine bottles, there is no need for Guo Song to worry about it, Li Wenyu knows very well that a bottle of wine for ten yuan cannot be packed in an earthen jar!

She decided to use Yuezhou celadon, the reason why she did not use Xingzhou white porcelain, mainly because the best Xingzhou white porcelain is fired by the official kiln, and the general people can't buy it, and a little better folk kiln mainly burns Tang Sancai, not burning daily porcelain.

The quality of white porcelain fired by ordinary kilns is too far from that of official kilns.

The folk kiln of Yuezhou celadon is better than white porcelain, and the quality is no less than that of the official kiln, the same clear as ice, crystal warm and moist as jade, and the most important thing is that the celadon shop accepts folk customization.

At night, Guo Song sat at the front of the table and looked at the gold medal given to him by Li Yu, the size of the gold medal was like a playing card, and the front was engraved with the words 'If you see my face' in Yang.

The back is engraved with the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace, and there is an eagle engraved on the top of the hall.

Guo Song couldn't help but look up at the old apricot tree in the atrium, there is a huge bird's nest on the old apricot tree as high as six zhang, which is specially built by Guo Song for carpenters, which can defend against poachers' short crossbows and ordinary arrows, Mengzi lives in the bird's nest at night, these days it soars in the Qujiang area, and it does not come back until noon today.

Guo Song found a peacock feather on the claws of the fierce son, this guy is very likely to have gone to the Furong Garden in Qujiangchi to poach, what kind of eagle is raised by anyone, this is not wrong at all.

"Master, there is a big bird's nest on this tree!" Suddenly, a young woman's voice came from the courtyard outside.

Guo Song was stunned, he took the gold medal into his arms, took the horizontal knife casually, jumped into the courtyard lightly, and asked coldly: "Where is the friend who came to visit Guo, please show up!" ”

There were three women wearing palace skirts on the wall, the woman in white in the middle was Gongsun Auntie, the middle-aged woman Guo Song on the left had also seen it, she was Gongsun Auntie's apprentice, and on the right was a young woman with a round face, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had never seen it.

When Aunt Gongsun saw Guo Song holding a sword in her hand, she smiled and asked, "Guo Song, this is your hospitality?" ”

Guo Song also said angrily: "Are there any guests who climbed over the wall to enter the house?" ”

"That's your problem, we knocked on the door for a long time, and no one paid attention."

Guo Song was speechless, it seemed that he needed to find a housekeeper.

"Let's go to the middle courtyard! The guest hall is in the atrium. ”

"No need, just go to your study, say a few words and we'll go."

Aunt Gongsun asked with a smile: "No, your inner house will be hidden in the golden house!" ”

"Chirp-"

The fierce probe came out and yelled twice, and it was impatient with the noise.

Guo Song glanced at it and said, "It's just me and it in the whole house." ”

"Huh! There is really a flat-haired brute, and like your master, he also raised a goshawk when he was young. ”

Guo Song suddenly became interested, "What happened to that goshawk?" ”

"I was killed by an arrow in my anger, and your master ignored me for a year."

Guo Song rolled his eyes, what kind of person is this!

"I said Guo Song, your aunt can only stand on the wall and talk to you?"

"Please come in!"

Guo Song turned back to the study, and the three of them jumped off the wall and followed him into the study.

"Senior aunt, you must come to the study, I can't help it, there are only two couches in the study, your two apprentices can only stand, and there is only one teacup in my house, and there is no bowl, or your old man will drink it directly with the teapot!"

The young woman next to her 'poof!' Laughing out loud, Aunt Gongsun glared at her, and said angrily: "Speaking of which, you are not poor, and you have more than 10,000 yuan before and after!" How can you live so stingy? ”

"The money is gone, I will build the Golden Body Pavilion for the master and expand the Qingxu Concept, and I will invest in it."

"You also invested in a liquor store!"

Guo Song suddenly stretched his face, and just as he was about to speak, Aunt Gongsun preemptively said: "I'm not interested in probing into your private life, it was Li An who said it to the Son of Heaven, and I happened to hear it next to me." ”

"Senior aunt, these two areβ€”" Guo Song quickly diverted the topic.

Aunt Gongsun introduced him: "This is Twelve Niang, the official name is Li Man, is my most powerful apprentice, currently the head of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, her sword skills are no less than yours, next to me is my apprentice Sun Wang Jianying, I raised it since I was a child, it can be regarded as my granddaughter!" ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Gongsun sank her face and said coldly: "I want to remind you, don't talk casually in front of the Son of Heaven in the future, your performance today is good, but your attitude is worrying." ”

Guo Song smiled and said, "Shanye Taoist! It's normal to not understand the rules. ”

Aunt Gongsun looked at him for a long time, and saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, so she was helpless, so she had to say again: "That gold medal, do you know how important it is?" ”

"Boy, I want to listen!" Guo Song is still a hippie smile.

Aunt Gongsun shook her head, "When you see that gold medal, if you see the Son of Heaven himself, there are only three sides cast, do you think you can get it with a little martial arts?" There are not 100 people who are superb in martial arts in the world, but also 80 people, does the Son of Heaven want to cast 80 gold medals and give one to each person? ”

"What does Senior Aunt want to say, is it that I am not qualified to win this gold medal?" Guo Song couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Don't interject, listen to me!"

Aunt Gongsun walked back and forth a few steps and said: "The Yuan family is the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy, and has been loyal to the Li royal family for generations, so Yuan Zai can get this gold medal, and I have personally guarded the Son of Heaven for 20 years, and I have sacrificed my life several times to protect his safety, out of absolute trust, he gave me this gold medal, and you, have you thought about it, why would the Son of Heaven give it to you?" ”

Guo Song put away his hippie smile, bowed down and said, "Please teach my aunt!" ”

"Your attitude is about the same, let me tell you, you got this gold medal, it is your master's reputation that is vouching for you, and it is also the guarantee I made for you, you understand now!"

Guo Song sighed softly, "I understand, to get this gold medal, I'm afraid I have to pay a huge price." ”

"How much power you get, of course, you have to bear a lot of responsibility, the palace has 4,900 personal guards, Yi guards, school guards, and talents, and you are the only captain of the outer patrol, you should feel very honored."

"What is the Captain of the Outer Patrol?"

Aunt Gongsun handed Guo Song an envelope, Guo Song opened the envelope, and inside it turned out to be a letter from the Son of Heaven, 'Guo Song is hereby appointed as the captain of Zhaowu, and he will patrol the Quartet, and he will be here!" ’

Guo Song was stunned, "Senior aunt, didn't you say that I don't hold an official position?" ”

"This is my suggestion to the Son of Heaven, the first position your master obtained that year was the captain of Zhaowu, patrolling the outside of the palace, at that time it was still the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were many lawbreakers in the princes and emperors, and the people of Chang'an complained a lot, Emperor Xuanzong appointed your master as the captain of the outer patrol, and the sword of the Son of Heaven secretly visited the lawless people in the sect, so I gave the Son of Heaven a suggestion, let you inherit the master's previous position, and vouch for you, otherwise, how could the Son of Heaven rest assured that the gold medal would be given to you?"

Guo Song was moved in his heart and bowed down, "Thank you for your love!" ”

Aunt Gongsun's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible deep emotion, she was unmarried in her life, had no children and no daughters, although Yang Yu was also her nephew, but she preferred Guo Song, in Guo Song, she seemed to see the amazing and outstanding senior brother again.

Aunt Gongsun took out another Li Yu's gold medal, glanced at Guo Song and said: "The Son of Heaven will not look for you directly, it is up to me to convey his will, I am old, it is impossible to come to you every time, so I will ask the two of them to inform you, except for the two of them, no one comes to you, you don't believe it, including your senior brother Yang Yu." ”

Guo Song nodded, this is to establish a communication channel first.

Aunt Gongsun stretched out her hand to Guo Songyi again, "Where's my sword!" ”

Guo Song took out the sword from the box and put it on the table, and Li Twelve Niang stepped forward to accept the sword.

Aunt Gongsun showed a hint of a smile, "I guess you are saying that I am stingy today, and when my aunt meets, you don't even give a meeting gift." ”

Guo Song's spirits perked up, "What does my aunt want to give me?" ”

Aunt Gongsun smiled faintly, "My name is the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and I take care of the thousands of swords collected by generations of emperors, and I can give you a sword." ”

"Senior aunt, this is not good!"

"Where do you want to go, you stinky boy, of course I didn't give you the Son of Heaven's hidden sword, I have my own hidden sword, and I can even help you make one."

"My aunt can also forge swords?"

Aunt Gongsun nodded, "I was originally born in a sword-casting family in Jiangnan, and at least two percent of the swords in the Sword Pavilion were built by me, but I am old now, I have an apprentice named Feng Ming, she not only inherited my sword-casting skills, but also married Zhang Yajiu, the first swordsmith of the Tang Dynasty, the Yajiu sword worn by the Son of Heaven was forged by her and her husband, Zhang Yajiu has passed away, Feng Ming lives in the Sword Pavilion, I asked her to help you build a sword." ”

Guo Song thought for a while and asked, "In addition to the sword, will she be able to build other weapons?" ”

"Of course, there is no problem, but let me remind you that Datang prohibits civilians from carrying long weapons."

"I know, I don't carry it out of the house."

Guo Song quickly got up, took out a box and a piece of paper from the bookcase, and handed the paper to Aunt Gongsun, who unfolded the paper and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Green Dragon Halberd!"

Fang Tian's painting halberd is a double-sided crescent blade, while the green dragon halberd is a single-sided crescent blade, which can be pierced and split, and Guo Song's master Mu Zhenren used the green dragon halberd back then.

Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but smile and said, "You really plan to inherit the mantle of the master." ”

This is not to inherit the master, but because their martial arts come from the sword weapon, which must be combined with splitting and stabbing, Wang Zhongsi chose the Qinglong halberd as a weapon, and it is the same here in Guo Song.

Guo Song bowed down and said: "Master told my disciple that I am more suitable for using a halberd, which can be split and stabbed, and can give full play to the advantages of swords." ”

"That's right!"

Aunt Gongsun asked again: "How much do you want the green dragon halberd?" ”

"About a hundred pounds!"

Wang Jianying next to him couldn't help but pout, it's too! A hundred-pound weapon, does he think he is a god descending from heaven?

Aunt Gongsun quickly glanced at her, and said to Guo Song gently: "Unless it is a casting hammer or a wrought iron rod, it is difficult to create a weapon weighing a hundred catties, and the green dragon halberd with a pure iron rod is generally fifty catties, I will give you a little longer, and then use good iron to make a rod, but the limit can only reach eighty-three catties, otherwise it will be top-heavy and unbalanced." ”

Guo Song lifted his senior brother's stone lock, about eighty catties was still a little lighter, and he frowned slightly, "Isn't it possible to get worse?" ”

Aunt Gongsun pondered for a moment and said: "Otherwise, it will be changed to Fang Tian's painting halberd, with one more arc blade, and you can add another seven catties." ”

Single arc or double arc is not a problem for Guo Song, he thought about it, then nodded and agreed, "Then Fang Tian draws the halberd, please aunt." ”

"Half a year if it's fast, a year if it's slow, you can wait patiently!"

Speaking of this, Aunt Gongsun pointed to the box and asked with a smile, "What is this?" ”

"It's a little thing that my nephew got in Lingzhou."

Guo Song opened the box, and Aunt Gongsun suddenly exclaimed: "Xingsha! ”

She moved quickly, picked up the box, held the star sand in her hand, and said with surprise and joy: "I have never seen such a large piece of star sand, this thing can improve the quality of iron, especially on the blade, making the edge dense and hard, can sharpen iron like mud, but the treasure of the armoryman, but the price is really expensive, even in the Turks is not cheap, and it is strictly forbidden to lose to the Tang Dynasty, I have tried my best to buy a large piece of thumb, and it cost thousands of dollars." ”

Only then did Guo Song understand that the original role of star sand was to increase the density and hardness of iron, and to play the role of a catalyst.

"I only spent two hundred taels of silver on this piece of star sand, and it was also a coincidence, can my aunt help me use it on Fang Tian's halberd?"

"Of course you can, but you don't need so much, I'll give me the rest, okay!" Aunt Gongsun said with a smile.

Guo Song was helpless, so he had to bow down and say, "Even if the nephew is filial to the aunt." ”

Aunt Gongsun already knows this nephew very well, she smiled and said, "Don't be stingy, go back and give you a sword to ensure that you like it." ”

At this time, Li Man reminded in a whisper: "Master, it's time to go!" ”

Aunt Gongsun nodded, "Tomorrow at noon, you come to the Tianlai Courtyard in Pingkangfang, I have something to look for you." ”

After speaking, the three of them turned around and walked outside the study, and Wang Jianying suddenly asked curiously: "Ninety pounds, you kid is really good?" ”

Guo Song's face sank, "Is this what you say to your elders?" ”

Wang Jianying was stunned for a moment, her face immediately turned red, she no longer paid attention to Guo Song, flew up and jumped on the wall, and the figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
