Chapter 149: Old Friends Meet
The largest mansion in Datongfang is the mansion of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, Guo Song met Guo Ziyi on the third day of entering Beijing, but the time was in a hurry, and they did not talk in detail.
But today Guo Song did not come to Guo Ziyi, but to Guo Chongqing.
He asked the soldiers to go in and report, and after waiting for a while, he saw Guo Chongqing wearing a military uniform hurriedly walking out.
"Guo Song!"
Guo Chongqing was overjoyed when he saw Guo Song standing at the door, stepped forward to hug him, and gave him a punch in the shoulder, "Why did you stinky boy come to me now?" ”
Guo Song rubbed his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I just came back at noon!" ”
"I heard your fat brother say, you went to Jianghuai, and the old man said that your trip to Jianghuai must have something to do with the salt tax, right?"
Guo Song nodded, and asked again, "Is the old man in good health?" ”
Guo Chongqing's eyes were a little gloomy, "The old man has been in a very bad mood in the past two days, and his health is not very good, and he has been in bed for three days." ”
"What's going on?"
"The old man just got the news that his nephew, Guo Xin, the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, still led the army to defend the four towns of Anxi, begging the court for assistance, but the court could not rescue, and the old man was emaciated and fell ill."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "I think even if the imperial court can't rescue, it will definitely send envoys to condolence and give them spiritual encouragement, the key reason is that it is autumn now, and it will be winter in more than a month, and the heavy snow on the frontier will close the road, even if the imperial court wants to send envoys, it will have to wait until next spring, Brother Guo will comfort the old man, I believe that the Son of Heaven will never be indifferent to this news." ”
"Okay!"
Guo Chongqing nodded, "I will definitely convey your advice to the old man, are you going to find Liang Wu now?" ”
"Exactly! Where does he live now? ”
"They live in Lingzhou Jinjuanyuan, in Chongrenfang, but they are nearby now."
Guo Song was overjoyed, "Is it nearby?" ”
Guo Chongqing smiled and nodded, "It's just opposite Feng'an Fang, I'll take you there!" ”
Guo Chongqing also rode a horse and took Guo Song to Feng'anfang.
"Guo Wu is now the commander of the Shuofang army, burned down Xue Yantuo's logistics camp, forced Xue Yantuo to retreat, these Lingzhou children have made military achievements, Li Ji was promoted to Guoyi Lieutenant, Lin Tai was promoted to captain, Guo Wu was directly transferred from a reserve general to a brigade commander, even I was stained, and I was also promoted to the sixth grade Guoyi lieutenant, but we all feel sorry for you."
"What are these words, I gave up on my own, what's wrong with it?" Guo Song shook his head and said.
"How could we have succeeded without you burning down the enemy camp?"
Guo Song patted his arm, "Don't apologize anymore, I'm not bad, talk about Liang Wu, what is he doing in the capital this time?" ”
Guo Chongqing pointed ahead and smiled: "You can go to the school and take a look." ”
There is a large school field in Feng'an Fang, most of the time it is empty, but today the school field is constantly shouting, Guo Song entered the gate of the school field, only to see more than a dozen riders galloping on the school field, waving a long stick like a golf club.
"Polo!" Guo Song blurted out.
The polo of the Tang Dynasty and the Keju of the Song Dynasty, he has heard of their names for a long time, and this year is the first time he has seen them.
Guo Chongqing said with a smile: "Every year in the autumn hunt, according to the custom, a military polo tournament will be held, a total of twenty-four teams participate, Shuo Fang army also came, Liang Wu is on behalf of Shuo Fang army, the team is also Li Ji, you are very familiar with, and Lin Tai is also here." ”
Guo Song's heart was hot, "Look at it!" He urged his horse to run towards the schoolyard.
"Brother Guo!"
Suddenly, a little lady shouted in surprise from the side.
As soon as Guo Song turned around, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old little lady standing in the stands next to him, combing a double-ring bun, wearing a turquoise undergarment, and a red long skirt underneath, with a pretty appearance and crystal white skin, it was Liang Ling'er, the little girl of the eccentric elf.
When Liang Ling'er saw Guo Song, her eyes were red with excitement, and she rushed over with a long skirt.
Guo Chongqing smiled and urged the horse to run towards the school field.
"Don't run so fast, watch your step!" Guo Song saw her stumbling and was really worried, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
Liang Ling'er really tripped over a stone and almost fell, Guo Song hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you still so frizzy?"
Liang Linger looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally saw Guo Song again, but she didn't expect to be counted down by the other party when she met, she was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
"People are excited, where is the frizz?"
Guo Song smiled dumbly, "Okay! You're not boring, why did your father let you come to Chang'an? ”
"This time I came with my father, he is the team leader, thanks to Brother Guo, my father has been promoted."
"What does your father's promotion have to do with me?"
"Why is it okay?"
Liang Ling'er pouted and said: "Everyone was promoted because of Brother Guo, and my father also recommended good talents for merit, so he was promoted to the record and joined the army." ”
At this time, Guo Song saw everyone coming over, so he patted Liang Ling'er's arm and whispered: "Don't promote the official and have something to do with me, just understand it in your heart, everyone will be embarrassed if you say it." ”
Liang Ling'er nodded, "I know, you people are all trying to save face!" ”
Having said that, she refused to let go of Guo Song's arm, Guo Song was really helpless, so she had to smile bitterly at Liang Wu and everyone: "With the weight on my body, I can't give you a salute." ”
Everyone laughed dumbly, Liang Wu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away his sister's hand and said, "Don't pull Brother Guo like this, others will laugh at you." ”
Liang Ling'er is only eleven years old, which is the age when love first blossoms, but she is still a little hazy, she only knows that she has a good impression of Guo Song, but she can't say it clearly, but as soon as her brother said it, she was also a little embarrassed.
Hurriedly let go of Guo Song's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, they were all discussing yesterday, how to slaughter you, the landlord, when they meet, and eat you poor!" ”
Guo Song laughed, "Okay, I can't eat enough, tonight I invite everyone to eat at the best Taibai Restaurant!" ”
........
In the Taibai Liquor Building, Guo Song asked for a private seat, and everyone gathered together, even Liang Yundao was invited.
Although the five-rank official rank is really inconspicuous in the capital with many high-ranking officials, Liang Yundao is satisfied, he is not from a professional class, nor is he a famous family, but he can break through the threshold of the fifth grade, it is really not easy, he is also full of gratitude to Guo Song in his heart, if there is no Guo Song, Duan Envoy Jun will not put his credit in the first position of civil officials.
Liang Yundao is an elder and the leader of the polo team, he sits in the main seat, Guo Song sits on the right, Li Ji sits on the left, next to Guo Song was originally Guo Chongqing, but Guo Chongqing and Liang Linger changed seats.
Liang Ling'er sat beside Guo Song happily, asking questions and questions, and her little mouth didn't stop, until her father stared at her sternly, she pouted and didn't say anything.
Everyone drank three glasses of party wine according to Lingzhou customs, and then drank and chatted casually.
Today, Guo Songte ordered ten bottles of Meishou wine, and the wine price alone is 100 yuan, but among the guests, except for Liang Yundao and Guo Chongqing, who are more proficient in wine, no one else can distinguish the taste.
Liang Yundao tasted a glass of wine and praised: "This wine is very good!" The intensity is high, the vintage is sufficient, and the wine in the capital is different. ”
The bartender next to him smiled: "This Meishou wine is the first wine in our capital, and it is also the imperial wine that the Son of Heaven drinks. ”
Everyone smacked their tongues when they heard it, my good man, this bottle of wine costs ten yuan, this is simply a jade liquid!
Liang Wu suddenly looked back at Guo Song, "Old Guo, this wine is yours!" ”
They went to the Meishou wine shop a few days ago, since the wine shop belongs to Senior Brother Guo Song, it must have something to do with Guo Song.
Guo Song smiled, "This wine belongs to my senior brother, and I just have a little bit of it." ”
The bartender listened to it straightly, it turned out that this was the proprietor of Meishou wine, so young!
Lin Tai smiled: "That brother is making a fortune now!"
"Where! Earn a little money, it's not easy to live in Chang'an, just to support your family. ”
Liang Ling'er next to him squirted out of his mouth, everyone laughed, Liang Wu knocked on the table, "Could it be that Lao Guo has already got married?" ”
Everyone suddenly reined in laughter and looked at Guo Song with a smile.
Liang Ling'er suddenly said a little weakly: "Fifth brother, what are you talking nonsense, Brother Guo is only nineteen years old, and it is still too early to start a family!" Brother Guo, isn't it? ”
"Xiaomei is right, I haven't considered the matter of marrying a wife, and when I say supporting my family, I mean that I have a nephew, and I have to support it."
Liang Wu was stunned for a moment, "When did you have a nephew, didn't you say that you were alone?" ”
Liang Ling'er rolled her eyes, "Brother Guo, you won't be talking about Kitty Hawk!" ”
Guo Song tugged at Liang Ling'er's braid and smiled: "It's still the little sister who is smart, haven't you all seen my nephew?" Call my uncle all day long. ”
Everyone laughed again, and Li Ji interjected: "Your nephew has become a father, do you know?" ”
Guo Song was overjoyed, "You mean the mother eagle of the scout eagle?" ”
Li Ji nodded, "Three eggs were laid, and now our scout battalion soldiers are stronger." ”
"I should be the one who has me!" Guo Song said unwillingly.
"you!" When Liang Wu heard that Guo Song wanted an eagle, he suddenly became anxious, "Okay, I said that an eagle will follow me, don't think about snatching it again this time." ”
"Goro!"
Liang Yundao glared at his nephew dissatisfied, "How did you speak?" ”
Guo Song hurriedly waved his hand, "Uncle, don't care, he has always talked to me like this when he was in Lingzhou, and he is used to it." ”
Liang Ling'er held her chin and was thinking hard about how to meet Brother Guo every day, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Brother Guo, I forgot to tell you, Shi Xiaopang is also here."
Guo Song was stunned, "Then why didn't you see him?" ”
Liang Yundao smiled slightly: "Shi Tong is in charge of logistics, I will give him a day off today, and a few of them will go out for an outing early in the morning, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back early tomorrow morning." ”
"Can I see him tomorrow?"
Liang Ling'er hurriedly said: "Of course you can, or Brother Guo will come to the school tomorrow to have fun!" ”
Guo Song suddenly had a feeling of being tricked, who said that this little lady was not an elf, and she wrapped herself in.
When he saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, he readily agreed, "Good! Tomorrow I will also learn to play polo. ”
