In the evening, the streets of Tokyo are crowded with people, and the main roads are full of traffic. If you only look at Tokyo and don't look at the rest of the Zhou Dynasty, people may feel that they are in a prosperous time, not a troubled time. The weather was hot, Guo Shao had walked for a day, and he was worried about things in the army, and he felt a little tired at this time, and he didn't even notice Yulian who was silently following behind for a long time.

I went out in February, and when I came back, it was July, and time flies so fast, half of the year has passed in a blink of an eye. The original scene of budding flowers is gone, replaced by lush leaves, so thick green that it can't be melted away like a mass of green ink. Guo Shao remembered the words in a poem in the Song Dynasty: green, fat, red and thin.

The soldiers were anxious to get the money and go home for reunion, so they followed Guo Shao to find the location of the new house, and with Guo Shao's permission, they all dispersed one after another. In the end, only the father and daughter of Dong Bricklayer remained, Dong Bricklayer led the horse, and the little girl followed.

The queen's house is in the inner city, and it enters from Xuande Road, the central axis of the inner city, but it is not on the main road. It is far away from the handicraft workshop in the inner city in the north, and close to the Daxiangguo Temple in the south. The sparsely populated area, mostly inhabited by wealthy literati and merchants, is a quiet environment, and you can hear the monks of Daxiangguoji Temple reciting scriptures outside, and the faint chanting is like soothing music.

A courtyard of the Fu family, the location is also so good, and it really has the taste of a warlord family. However, this reward is only a symbolic copper key, and there is no title deed, and it is really just for him to live in...... You can't sell it as your own property anyway.

The lock on the door opened, and Dong Bricklayer poked his head in and asked in a thick Hedong accent, "Is there anyone?" ”

The accompanying eunuch said: "There used to be a few gatekeepers, but now they have all withdrawn." Guo Yu waited here, of course, it was easier to use his own people. ”

"You've thought so well." Guo Shao put his hand into the money bag and took out a broken piece of silver, which Zuo You divided very carefully last night, "You made a special trip to buy a pair of shoes and socks." ”

The eunuch was stunned and answered, and hurriedly bowed happily: "Thank you Guo Yu for the reward." Then our family will retire. ”

Looking at his attitude, Guo Shao suddenly determined that the current eunuchs are not comparable to the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, and their status must be relatively low. At this time, the highest status should be a military general with military power.

Guo Shao walked into the gate first, and an old man and a young man followed him in, he walked first for a while, and found that there was an inner courtyard in the outer courtyard, the place was relatively large, and there was not even a person inside. I'm still worried about things at the moment, so I don't have the patience to look at it carefully. However, the eyes of the two Dong family widened, they looked around very curiously, and carefully touched their hands.

Guo Shao casually grabbed a handful of broken silver from the money bag and handed it to Dong Bricklayer: "Take care of the two military horses, pack up the things you brought back, and ask someone to find a place to buy some fodder." Then you go to the restaurant by yourself, and when I came here I saw a lot of shops on the street. ”

Dong Bricklayer held his hands in his hands, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Guo Shao taught him again, helped to take off the heavy armor on his body, and threw it in the corner. Guo Shao thought about it again, and casually inquired about the Shuang Yulu of the Inner Temple, and felt that it was relatively rich, not to be lucky enough to get an extra reward, and it would not be a problem to raise a hundred and eighty people with Yulu alone...... Thinking about it like this, I didn't want to save, so I took a horse out of the house.

On the avenue, you can ride a horse or a car, and riding a horse is obviously less troublesome than walking.

Guo Shao first went out of the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, crossed the Longjin Bridge, and went straight to the ironware shop in the outer city business district where he used to live. When the class teacher returned to the court, he didn't see Yulian when he entered the city, maybe thousands of people were not looking for anyone at that time, Guo Shao planned to go straight to her house to have a look. She didn't have anywhere to go.

The commercial street of Longjinfang has shops in front and narrow alleys in the back. Guo Shao walked on the street first, went to the shop to take a look, his shop was in a good location, and he saw it as soon as he walked to the street. It's still open!

This was a bit unexpected for Guo Shao, and he saw that the stalls outside the shop were all set up.

He led the horse to the shop, and saw that the old man Huang was striking iron inside, and there was a money jar next to it, and the number in it seemed that the sales were okay today. "Yellow Blacksmith." Guo Shao shouted.

Old man Huang was surprised for a while, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand and took the reins of Guo Shao: "Dongjia, you are back!" ”

"Tie your horse to the door, come in and talk." Guo Shaodao.

Waiting for the yellow blacksmith to come in, Guo Shao asked directly, "Where is Yulian?" Didn't get to the shop? ”

Huang Blacksmith said: "I haven't been here for a long time...... It was very difficult to hear, and some people quietly splashed filth at the door of her house, saying that it was to ward off evil spirits! It didn't take long to hear that she had become a monk...... They also said that she knew the depth of her sins and had atoned for them. ”

"Ahh Guo Shaoleng was there, "Monk? Where to become a monk? ”

The yellow blacksmith shook his head: "Lao Er doesn't know, she didn't say it...... proprietors and so on. Then he turned around and walked inside.

After a while, just as Guo Shaozheng was frowning and thinking about something, the yellow blacksmith came out, carrying a sack, and then untied it. I saw a small half-sack of money inside. Guo Shao glared and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Huang Blacksmith said proudly: "I have earned money in the past few months, and I will take care of this shop alone!" I took my wages from it, and I paid before taxes, and I also took my food money...... In the past, the proprietor made a meal. ”

Guo Shao looked at the yellow blacksmith with incredible eyes, he really regarded him as a helper before, and he didn't think there was anything special, but today he felt that this person was a bit of a bit of a moral character. Although he speaks and acts roughly, I am afraid that he understands reason better than many officials who speak better than he sings.

Guo Shao thought about it, and only had broken gold and silver on his body, and it was inconvenient to spend occasionally. So he reached into the sack and grabbed a handful, only to see that the money was of different sizes, thicknesses, and new and old, but it was neatly strung with hemp rope. "The rest is up to you."

"The owner?" The yellow blacksmith was surprised.

Guo Shao said: "I have been promoted, and I will not rely on this business in the future...... The title deed of this shop is still with Yulian? ”

The yellow blacksmith said, "She sent it back." ”

"Then you're going to do it?" Guo Shao frowned. Huang Blacksmith said with a blank face: "She didn't give it to me, she just left it to the owner." ”

"Oops! Ay! Guo Shao felt uncomfortable for a while, and said in his heart, now that he is developed, there is no jade lotus to share, and his sense of joy is immediately reduced a lot, but he is very depressed for a while.

The yellow blacksmith with a terrifying face was a little at a loss when he saw this: "What did Lao Er do wrong?" ”

Guo Shao said: "That's it." In the future, you will find someone to run this shop, and the profit will be regarded as a reward for you. You go to the new house to help and take care of my new yard...... Oh! I have made great achievements in the battle, I have been promoted, and the inner temple is waiting for me, and we will not be able to look at the profits of this shop in the future. ”

The yellow blacksmith was not very happy, and he could guess from his expression that this old man in his fifties didn't know anything about the inner temple at all, and it was useless to say anything without that concept.

Seeing this, Guo Shao couldn't help but say again: "There is also an official, the history of the Qianzhou assassin." When the biggest officials in a state, the county officials of each of the following counties see me, they must be respectful and respectful, and they can be managed...... The county magistrate knows, right? When a major incident was committed in the township, he went to the lobby to make a board and ask for the crime, and the official sitting on it was the county official. ”

Now the yellow blacksmith understood, and said with a surprised face: "The owner is bigger than the county order!" ”

Guo Shao couldn't tell him, so he nodded. Xindao: Compared with the actual military power position of the Inner Temple, the local thorn history is considered a bird, not to mention the county order the size of a sesame seed...... But if it is changed to modern times, it seems that being the head of a county is also very powerful. The key is to shake off the prestige, or to show the pomp and circumstance of the guard of honor to bluff ordinary people, who have just been promoted, and have not had time to receive things.

……

Yulian wandered the streets and saw Guo Shao returning from the inner city and entering Longjin Fang...... He made a special trip back, which gave Yulian a glimmer of hope. But Brother Shao is very good now, he looks at the sky when he walks, and he doesn't see himself.

She stood at the corner of the street with her head down, nervous, afraid of running into acquaintances, and very entangled. Do you want to see him?

At that time, when he saw Guo Shao next to the queen's guard of honor, he immediately poured a scoop of cold water on Yulian to sober her mind. This Guo Lang is no longer the Shao Geer of the past!

used to work here in Shao Ge'er, and Yulian was forced to use his money to buy wine, so she felt very inferior and ashamed...... Now he is obviously on the rise: Old Man Huang doesn't understand, Yulian still understands, she has never eaten pork and seen a pig run. can talk in front of the queen and the nobles of Ouchi, and can also be rewarded with brocade robes, how do you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary promotion.

Entering the circle of power, his vision and heart will also change. Yulian thought to herself, what could a person like herself have to do with him? If you were the wife he was marrying before, he would have something to say.

If you go and pester Brother Shao'er again, what do you tell others to do? Be a maid...... People don't seem to be able to do it, after all, they are people they have known since they were poor. Let someone marry you? That's just whimsical, even if she goes back for another five or six years, she doesn't deserve it when she was a girl.

Forget it! Everything is fate, what does not belong to oneself and should not be expected to be extravagant, extravagance is just asking for troubles and humiliating oneself! Brother Shao used to treat himself well, but now that he has made a fortune, he should be happy for him, so it is good that he can occasionally hear about him in the crowd.

Just disappear from his side! Staying in Yuzhenguan is actually not bad; That's the opportunity you should seize. In this world, there is a shortage of soldiers, horses, and famine, and it is very demanding to be a nun and a Taoist, and it is not so easy for you to eat.

People have to accept their fate. Yulian's tears swirled in her eyes, and she turned around with difficulty to leave.

At this moment, suddenly a woman seemed to have found something surprising, and her tone was simply surprised: "Yo! Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Chen family? Come back? ”

Yulian turned her head, not wanting to say anything to her, she couldn't say it clearly at all, and she was ashamed and angry in her heart.

Unexpectedly, another voice said: "The Chen family's house is a little broken...... I can sell it for a few bucks. I heard that Yulian still has a man outside, so she sold the Chen family's house, and it was not bad to bring it over to press the bottom of the box. I've been married once or twice, and I've been married three times, so I don't want to leave myself a little entangled? ”
