Chapter 18: Alternate Knight

Pottery workshop.

Because of the whole Chang'an, it can even be said that it is the only porcelain for sale in the entire Tang Dynasty, so today's Guo pottery shop has long been renamed as Guojia porcelain shop, and the prosperity of the business is even more breathtaking......

Not only is every time a new porcelain comes, all the porcelain will be sold out in half an hour, which has greatly driven the sales of ordinary pottery.

is also because of this, every time he opens the account book, Guo Youchong's mouth can crack to the root of his ear.

"Nowadays, those who want to buy our porcelain, mentioning you must be called a profiteer, saying that you want to make money, it is simply black-hearted......"

Guo Xi stepped into the shop, and saw Guo Youchong's smiling appearance, and teased: "This kind of wind comment is really a bit bad for my Guo family's reputation, and you still laugh because of your little uncle!" ”

"He tried in vain to monopolize my porcelain, and sold it at a double price......"

Hearing this, Guo Youchong not only did not get angry because of this, but was very proud of the rule that he had set to buy a piece of porcelain and need to buy pottery for twenty, and said in a loud voice: "As soon as my plan came out, not only did I get rid of the thoughts of those who want to monopolize Juqi, but also greatly increased the sales of pottery in the shop, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone - even if the eldest brother knows, I am afraid that he will definitely praise it and will never blame me, how can I not laugh!" ”

Guo Xi said with a smile: "You still kill two birds with one stone, and those who don't know still think that your little uncle is leading the troops to fight!" ”

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the truth is the same!"

Guo Youchong smiled, then looked at Guo Xi and said: "If you have time, you should work hard in the house, don't run to me at every turn - you should know the rules of our family, what Madame doesn't allow, we'd better not do it!" ”

"Aya's mother is cautious, she doesn't want to give the saint the impression that she is forming a party for the good of my Guo family, I know this!"

Guo Xi waved his hand and said with a strange smile: "But now, I am a young man who wants to make friends with Yingjie peers, and there is no other intention at all-little uncle, you think too much!" ”

"Did I think too much, you know it in your heart!"

was about to scold, but he heard the man's report, saying that the Wei family and his wife had sent porcelain again, and Sun Youchong couldn't care about talking to Guo Xi anymore, so he asked the guy to quickly lead it to the backyard, and he would arrive later.

"Little uncle, I'll help!"

After waiting for so many days, the people who waited for the Wei family to appear, Guo Xi was willing to let go of this opportunity, and ran over with a smoke.

"This time to send porcelain, a total of one hundred and three pieces!"

After recording the amount of porcelain sent this time, Guo Youchong opened the account book again and asked Wei Youfu and his wife to draw a pledge to Yindao: "Last time, it was ninety-four, two or three coins of silver, you ...... a little bit."

"Guo shopkeeper does things, a certain family can rest assured, why use some!"

Wei Youfu Lu Yuehua said with emotion, but she didn't delay at all, one bit and shone on the silver, and the other counted and counted on the copper coin......

Seeing the two of them like this, Guo Youchong laughed and didn't speak at the same time, letting the two of them take their time.

However, Guo Xi looked left and right, and he didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he couldn't help but say to the two of them: "Dare to ask your uncle and aunt, your Xiaolang, didn't you come together today?" ”

"Xiaolang has made a promise from the craftsman's service!"

Wei Youfu Lu Yuehua raised her head when she heard this, looked at Guo Xi suspiciously, and said, "I haven't seen you before?" How do you get acquainted with Xiaolang? ”

"He is the son of my eldest brother, Guo Xi, and he doesn't know Ling Lang!" Guo Youchong said.

"The son of the eldest brother? Could it be the son of General Zuo? ”

Confirming this, Wei Youfu Lu Yuehua hurriedly saluted: "How dare the foolish couple afford to be called San Lang's uncle and uncle, and I hope that San Lang can call me and the two of us have the name of Fu Yuehua - I don't know what San Lang has to tell me Ming'er?" ”

"He's just curious, how can he have any orders!"

Guo Youchong looked at him again and again when he answered, so that Guo Xi must not have much to do.

However, Guo Xi heard that Wei Ming was serving as a craftsman, and stomped his feet again and again: "The pain of conscription, I heard that even Qing is unbearable, not to mention that Brother Ming is still a few years younger than meβ€”uncle, uncle, and mother, how can you let him go to service!" ”

"It's him who wants to go, it's not my intention!"

Wei Youfu hurriedly explained, while Lu Yuehua thought that it had been more than a month, and she didn't know what happened to Wei Ming, so she couldn't help but raise her eyes.

"Sister Yuehua, don't be sad, I believe Ling Lang will be safe!"

Guo Youchong hurriedly comforted him again and again, glaring at Guo Xi vigorously, and said in his heart Look at the good things you have done, it's just a pot that can't be opened!

However, Guo Xi didn't do anything wrong at all, but said excitedly to Lu Yuehua, who was teary-eyed: "Since uncle and uncle are so worried about Brother Ming, why don't you go to the service to visit him and see if he is okay?" "Imperial conscription is a state affair!"

Guo Youchong rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Do you think it's a child's play?" You can go as much as you want, and you can see whoever you want? ”

"yes!"

Lu Yuehua Wei Youfu said: "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the two of us would have gone a long time ago, and I wouldn't be as worried as we are now!" ”

"If my uncle and aunt are willing, I can take you there!"

Guo Xi ignored Guo Youchong's eyes, grinned at Wei Youfu and Lu Yuehua, and said in his heart that he was fortunate to have an alternate knight's position......

The official positions of the Tang system, like most of them, were divided into real officials, loose officials, and door shadow positions.

Guo Xi's alternate knight is the honor.

Generally speaking, the rank of merit is more just a sign of rank, although there are benefits such as exemption from taxation such as conscription, but there is no authority, and even direct officials.

If you want to become an official, you must go to the battlefield to accumulate military merits or donate money, first change from a medal officer to a loose officer, and only after reaching a certain assessment standard can you check and fill the vacancies as an official.

It's also because of these that many people don't even take those doctors, generals, captains and the like with scary names, let alone a candidate knight with a low rank that can't be lower.

But at this moment, Guo Xi felt that although his rank was low, he was nominally good!

If you can't do anything else, take Wei Youfu Lu Yuehua to the battlefield to meet Wei Ming, it should be enough!

Hearing that Guo Xi could help the two of them meet Wei Ming, Wei Youfu and Lu Yuehua, who were worried about Wei Ming's safety all day, naturally had no reason to refuse, and nodded again and again to ask Guo Xi for help.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, this matter will be on me!"

Guo Xi slapped his chest with a bang, and when he took the two of them to the service ground, he stabbed the officials of the service field and said: "Guo Xi, an alternate knight of Anxi Mansion, wants to bring someone into the service field to meet a person, please pass it on......"

Then Guo Xi was embarrassed!

Because the officials in the field didn't pay any attention to him at all, except for rolling their big eyes at him, let alone opening the door and letting him in......
