Gan Lei thought for a while and said: "Brother will give you another suggestion for this matter, you try not to come forward, operate behind the scenes, you let Sun Xiaozhen go to the martial arts hall to sign up for martial arts, let him mix in, and wait for him to touch the residence surnamed Mao, let's not be too late to start." ”

Guo Song hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't meddle in this matter, you just give me advice, I and Sun Xiaozhen will do it, otherwise I would rather not tell you." ”

Gan Lei knew the situation at home, and he smiled bitterly, "Okay then! Brother listens to you. ”

"Let's go to Xuanyangfang to see the house first, and then I'll go to Pingkangfang to find Sun Xiaozhen, it just so happens that the Taoist temple has two horses, and we each ride one."

Guo Song packed his bags and took Gan Lei to Xuanyangfang.

Guo Song had already gotten the deed after the transfer yesterday, and his name was written on the deed, but he hadn't had time to see it yet, so he happened to take Gan Lei to see it today.

"How much can senior brother earn a month by opening a cake shop?" On the way to Xuanyangfang, Guo Song asked with a smile.

"Hey! In order to save more money, our family lived very frugally, and every meal was vegetarian. ”

"Shut down the bakery! When I came to Chang'an, didn't I give you jewelry? If you sell the jewelry, you will have the capital. ”

"To tell you the truth, your sister-in-law and I have closed the cake shop, I sold two pairs of gold bracelets, got a hundred taels of silver, paid off all kinds of debts, and seventy taels, the small shop can give thirty taels to others, and then we will use these hundred taels of silver to come to Chang'an to do a small business, otherwise how can I have time for you to go hunting?"

"One hundred taels of silver is not enough, you sold that pair of sapphire earrings, come to Chang'an to sell, that one is more valuable, and then you go to a store in Dongshipan, which happens to be close to Xuanyangfang."

Gan Lei smiled bitterly, "The store in the East Market doesn't have three thousand yuan, so it's impossible to put it down." ”

"Then sell all the jewelry, let's fight a few more tigers, and it's enough to get together."

"Say it again! You don't care about this matter, you focus on chasing the fourth child, this is the point, and our business is not in a hurry at all. ”

Guo Song is right to think about it, the top priority is to find out the whereabouts of the fourth senior brother, whether he is dead or alive, there must be an explanation.

..........

The reason why the housing price of Xuanyangfang is expensive is because it belongs to the core commercial area, close to the east market, and there are various inns, restaurants, green buildings, gambling halls, music squares, dance workshops, etc., which are very dense, which can be described as every inch of land.

Although Xuanyangfang is prosperous in business, there are many wealthy official residences, and the house of the famous Mrs. Guo in history is in Xuanyangfang.

The same is true of Pingkangfang opposite, which is the most famous place of wind and moon in the Tang Dynasty, with warblers singing and dancing, day and night.

The commercial shops of Datang are mainly concentrated in the East Market and the West Market, of course, there are also small grocery stores in each square, buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads and brains, etc., so you don't need to go to the East and West markets.

Dongshi is equivalent to a high-end department store, all kinds of imported goods from the Western Regions and overseas, all kinds of silk and satin, all kinds of fine furs, jewelry and jade, etc., the quality of goods is relatively high, and the consumption is also high.

The West Market is equivalent to a supermarket hypermarket, which is very close to the ground, with firewood, rice, oil and salt, various meat and non-staple foods, cloth and tea bricks, retail and wholesale.

Guo Song's new house is located in the northeast of Xuanyangfang, and there is a side door not far from the east market.

According to the grass painted by the senior brother, Guo Song quickly found the house.

The first impression of the house is very good, the wall is very high, the white wall is black tile, there is a row of trees outside, the courtyard gate is a black lacquer gate, there is a black tile door on it, there is a drum stone on both sides, there are various bamboos next to it, it is the courtyard door of ordinary people's homes, there is a threshold, but there are no steps, it is not the kind of high door.

Guo Song patted the knocker, and after a while, an old man opened the door, he looked at Guo Song and asked, "Gongzi's surname?" ”

"My surname is Guo and I'm the new owner here."

"I know, the owner has already told me, saying that there will be a Guo Gongzi to collect the house in the next two days, let me wait here, come in quickly, give me the horses!"

When the two entered the door, the old man led the horses in, and said with a smile: "There is a livestock shed next to it, which has been empty, just enough to tie the horse, wait for me for a while." ”

The old man led the horse to the livestock shed, Gan Lei looked at it, and praised: "It's really good, there are actually shadow walls, and there are many trees and flowers." ”

"Then you can move in!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we'll rent a house ourselves."

Guo Song's face sank, "Senior brother, do you think I'm joking?" I don't plan to live in this house at all, I live very happily in the senior brother's place, and I have to teach those little rabbit cubs to practice martial arts in the morning, and it is inconvenient for the fierce son to live here, and the surroundings are too dangerous. ”

"It's-"

Gan Lei looked embarrassed, "Why don't I go back and discuss it with my wife!" I haven't told her about it yet. ”

"That's it, if you don't live in the house, you'll be locked up here, or you will sell it, anyway, I won't live here."

"Alright! I'll promise you first, I'll go back and try to convince your sister-in-law, I can only say as much as possible, you know her temper. ”

"Otherwise, I'll rent it to you, five hundred dollars a month, and my sister-in-law will be at ease."

Gan Lei's eyes lit up, "That's fine, I guess she'll say yes." ”

Guo Song smiled and patted him on the stomach, "Then the rent will be returned to the senior brother, and the senior brother will have private money." ”

The two brothers burst out laughing together.

At this time, the old man walked back and said with a smile: "I'll show you the house, and then hand over the key to Guo Gongzi, and I'll go, but I have to look at the deed first, Childe, I'm really sorry!" ”

"It's okay! You're welcome. ”

Guo Song took out the deed from his arms and handed it to him, and asked with a smile: "The owner of the old man is Uncle An!" ”

"Exactly, the owner also said that Gongzi saved his life in Yinshan."

"I just met him, and saving him is also saving myself."

The old man returned the title deed to Guo Song, "Let's go!" I'll show you the house. ”

The two followed the old man into the house.

"This was originally an official residence, it was renovated just last year, and like an ordinary house, it is divided into three halls, with a kitchen, a stable, a storeroom and a lower room in the front, and this used to be the atrium."

They walked in through a moon gate, and a courtyard appeared in front of them, and in the middle of the courtyard was an old apricot tree, five or six feet high, growing lush and green.

The front of the courtyard is the main hall for receiving guests, and there are two wings on each side, which are generally the living room, the dining room, and the master's study.

The old man pointed to the side and said, "There is a small single courtyard in the east, there are three rooms, it is a guest room, we will come back and see, now go to the back house." ”

The back house covers an area of about one acre, with two yards, more than a dozen houses, and a small garden next to it, which is full of various flowers and a grape, but there is no fish pond rockery or the like, after all, it is only three acres.

"How about it, Childe is still satisfied!"

"I'm so satisfied, how can I still have furniture?"

The old man smiled, "The furniture is already there, this was originally an official residence, before the Son of Heaven rewarded the prince of Jinyang, it was for the Liupin official to live, so the court is equipped with furniture, but the wood is relatively ordinary, and it is a little old, and the prince needs to paint it himself." ”

"Will the court still ship the furniture back?"

"Nope! No! The furniture has long belonged to the prince of Jinyang, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

Guo Song listened to him as a son of Jinyang, and it seemed that Li Jinyang was not a fake name, so he cautiously asked tentatively: "I don't know which prince this Jinyang prince is?" ”

"I know this!"

Gan Lei next to him said with a smile: "In fact, everyone in Chang'an knows that the prince of Jinyang is the king of Zhaowang Li Si, the third prince of the current emperor, he was once the king of Jinyang, so everyone calls him the prince of Jinyang." ”

I'll go! Li Jinyang actually summoned the king Li Si, Guo Song was shocked, the dignified prince actually ran to the grassland, and he thought he was a certain concubine in the royal family.

Guo Song really regretted that his white wolf skin was sold too cheaply.

........

After looking at the house, Gan Lei returned to the Taoist temple, and Guo Song came to Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is worthy of being the first prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, there are hundreds of brothels in various Qinglou alone, as well as teaching workshops, music workshops, song and dance workshops, and as many as cow hair taverns and restaurants, the whole workshop is almost commercialized, and there are not many residential houses.

According to Sun Xiaozhen's description, Guo Song soon found the Sun family restaurant, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, Sun Xiaozhen said that his restaurant is small and dilapidated, but the fact is the opposite, the Sun family restaurant covers a vast area, three floors high, extraordinary style, decorated with flowers, at least in the top five in Pingkangfang.

Sun Xiaozhen is completely a rich child, it is estimated that he has been causing trouble since he was a child and has become a famous ruffian, but it is rare for him to attach great importance to his master.

It was still early before noon, and the restaurant was very deserted, Guo Song came to the front of the restaurant, and a bartender greeted him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's not yet a meal, the small shop hasn't opened yet, if the guest officer is tired, then please go in and drink a bowl of herbal tea and rest for a while." ”

The Sun family is very good at doing business, and tells you that you haven't arrived yet, and you can't do business, but they invite you to go in to rest and drink tea, so that it will not affect the business and will not drive away the guests.

Guo Song nodded, "I'm looking for Sun Xiaozhen, you should know him!" ”

"It turned out that I was looking for that mixed world...."

The bartender almost said smoothly, but quickly held back and changed his words: "He seems to have gone out." ”

As soon as the bartender's voice fell, Sun Xiaozhen's voice came from behind Guo Song, "Uncle Xiao, I'm looking for you everywhere." ”
