Chapter 135: Ten Thousand is Better Than One
"Daimyo Castle!" The guide, Shen San, pointed to the majestic city in the snowflakes.
Although it is the middle of the first month, the snow in Hebei has not stopped, and the group is wearing clothes. Reining in the war horses on the road, the men in the robes looked ahead.
The field is covered with snow, and in the depths of the snow, the majestic city looms. It is really a very imposing city, and at first glance it is much larger than the city of Shouzhou. The scene here is not green hills, no stone bridges and flowing water, and it is more coarse and wild.
Shen San, who was hired by the merchant gang, said again: "There is a post house outside the famous city, so let's go to the post house first." ”
"Very good...... Drive! Guo Shao clamped the horse's belly, rode the horse first and continued to run forward.
The post houses in the big city are like small towns attached to the main city, and there are inns, markets, and government offices that are perfect for receiving merchants. When I arrived at the post house, I found that in the snowstorm, there were still a lot of pedestrians and merchants, and there was a bustling scene in the small city.
Guo Shao and his entourage were not on official business, and they didn't want to be greedy for the cheapness, so they paid for the inn out of their own pockets. It is located in the transportation hub of Hebei and the south, and there are people with various accents from all over the world, and Guo Shao and his party said that the accent of Kaifeng Mansion is not strange at all. As the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion had more people going to various places to do business.
After handing over the horses, Guo Shao said: "Everyone has worked the journey, find a few tables, and I will invite you to a banquet." ”
Everyone was happy when they heard this, and Shen San said: "Just drink some wine to warm up, hey, I can't wait!" Another guide laughed and scolded: "Shen three drunkards! ”
Guo Shao's gaze swept over Yang Biao's face, knowing that although the second brother did not speak well, he was very sensible. His gaze stayed on Luo Mengzi, and he specifically advised: "Third brother, don't talk and don't make trouble." ”
Luo Mengzi touched his round head and said, "I know." ”
Yang Biao's horse face was fierce and vicious, and he snorted after hearing this: "The Daimyo Mansion is the territory of King Wei, don't be ignorant and make trouble on other people's territory; In his eyes, what will King Wei say about our eldest brother? Don't come out, see what your brothers do, you follow! ”
"Do I like to make trouble?" Luo Mengzi looked very unconvinced.
Guo Shao remembered that in Longjinfang, Tokyo, there was a battle caused by Luo Mengzi, and nodded with Yang Biao. Guo Shaoxin said: As long as your own people don't take the initiative to come, there should be nothing to do, and the people who are looking for trouble are full of food...... Will it be okay to mess with you with two dozen fierce men?
Everyone took their seats, and the shopkeeper with a towel on his shoulder came up: "What do the guest officers eat and drink?" ”
Guo Shao said happily: "There are three tables here, although the good wine and good food come up, it must be enough for us to eat." ”
"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, you will come. ”
Shen San smiled when he heard this: "The owner is arrogant! ”
After a while, Xiao Er brought hot tea and dried fruits, as well as a few cold dishes. A group of people drank hot tea first, ate dried fruits, chatted, and waited for the food to be served. The little two came up and said with a smile: "I see that you are a generous guest, the little ones have specially made good tea, this tea is still delicious?" ”
Guo Shao didn't taste anything good, so he smiled casually: "As long as the girls are young, they will not be too ugly; As long as the tea is hot, it is not too hard to drink. ”
The crowd burst into laughter. It attracted the attention of the surrounding customers.
Xiao Er said with a smile: "There is still a little difference, I can't tell you whether the tea is good or bad; But the young lady is very different, and the good guys can see it at a glance, don't you say? ”
A man in a robe at the side table took it and said, "The shopkeeper is right! Isn't the best lady in this famous mansion the second lady of the Wei Wang family? What's the comparison, 10,000 young ladies can't compare to one person! ”
Sure enough, the same is true in ancient and modern times, as soon as it comes to beautiful women, the atmosphere in the lobby immediately becomes warm, and those who know and those who don't know can talk. The shopkeeper took the opportunity to be lazy, and made a slow gesture to pour tea for Guo Shao, but he didn't move for a long time, and did his best to do some useless trivial actions.
At this time, someone at the other table said: "Who is Fu Erniang's sister, the current Empress of the Great Zhou; This is a hundred miles away...... No, within a thousand miles! Is there a lady who can compare to Fu Erniang? I heard that she is only one year younger than the queen, and she is still raised in the palace, why? It's not easy for King Wei to choose a good husband, so what kind of thing can only be thought of by the son of a prince and nobleman...... We can only look at it. Scold! You can't even see it! ”
The shopkeeper put the teapot that had not been poured for a long time on the table, and said with flying eyebrows: "Everyone want to see it?" It's still visible. ”
"Oh?" Everyone immediately focused their eyes on the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked proud, and deliberately sold a pass, and when everyone was impatient, he spoke: "I'll tell you a way, it's not a person from the Daimyo Mansion, and I don't usually say anything about passing......"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly heard a scolding on the counter, and Xiao Er's face sank and he was about to go to work. The man at the table next to him grabbed his clothes: "Finish talking!" ”
Xiao Er shouted: "Shopkeeper, the guest officers won't let me go!" Only then did he hurriedly say: "In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, and there will be a lantern festival in the famous city every year." Last year, I heard that I saw Fu Erniang's car battle in the lamp market, and if you want to see it, stay here for a few more days, and wait until the Shangyuan Festival, you may see it when you go to the lantern fair! ”
After he finished speaking, he was let go, and the atmosphere in the lobby became more and more lively.
A man at the adjacent table had a red face and said: "We have to spend the Yuan Festival here, delay for a few more days, and be able to take a look at the famous Erniang of the Wei Wang family, it is indeed an unavoidable thing!" ”
Someone at the same table immediately chimed in: "King Wei was born a good girl, and it is not in vain to be able to see and hear about this in the famous city......"
Guo Shao and the others didn't speak, and they ate dried fruits with their heads bored. Luo Mengzi seemed to be particularly fond of fried almonds, so he stuffed them into his mouth one by one, swallowed a mouthful, and finally couldn't help but lean over and mutter: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so famous." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Biao's round eyes on the horse's face glaring at him, and Luo Mengzi was busy talking.
Guo Shao listened to people's discussions, and felt more and more that this matter might not be easy. What era is this, Lao Fu actually raised his daughter until she was twenty-three years old and did not marry, she must be a baby, not a rabbit or an eagle.
It is really not easy for Guo Shao to remember the second sister of Fu, and last year he was thinking in his heart, first to attack the Shu National Merit, and then to work hard in Huainan, and finally rose to a senior general...... The qualifications should still be enough, I don't know what Fu Yanqing thinks.
After everyone ate the table, Guo Shao asked for a few suites, and everyone went upstairs to rest and wait for Zuo You's news.
The group was still reciting what they had just seen in the lobby, and as soon as Luo Mengzi entered the room, he said, "Big brother, I dare to be affectionate when I listen to those people...... Fu Er Niangzi is the first beauty in the world! ”
Guo Shaodao: "The most important thing is because of her status. ”
"When the eldest brother said this, it is so reasonable." Luo Mengzi nodded.
Yang Biao sneered at this time: "The third brother's daughter-in-law is not also quite famous in the Tokyo market, soup cakes and Shih Tzu!" ”
"Haha......" everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
Luo Mengzi touched his head and said, "I don't sell soup cakes anymore, what is that money." Now your brother and daughter-in-law are happy at home, and they can eat while they are sitting, and they can also lie down...... That soup cake Xi Shi never thought that there would be this day with me Lao Luo, hehe. ”
The soldiers hurriedly echoed: "General Luo is right. ”
Guo Shao said with a serious face: "That is also the third brother who fought hard, I have always been fair and just." ”
At this moment, he heard a noise outside, Guo Shao asked someone to open the door and saw Zuo You coming. Zuo You patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and said, "King Wei has sent someone, let's go to King Wei's mansion." ”
Guo Shao stepped forward and patted the snow on Zuo You's back with his own hands, and heard a voice at the top of the stairs say: "Guo Dashuai, don't come unharmed." ”
I saw that the person who came was the teacher who went to Huainan to deliver the letter, and there were two civil officials behind him, who came forward to salute. Guo Shao stepped forward to meet, exchanged a few words, and said, "Wait in the room, I'll prepare." ”
Guo Shao hurriedly walked into the guest room, he had a meal upstairs just now, and when he came up, he talked nonsense with a group of brothers, and he forgot to take a bath and change clothes.
The set of clothes he was wearing was sweaty and dirty, how could he go on a "blind date" like this...... Guo Shaoqing knows that the first impression of this thing is still very important; People you don't know, people can only look at your appearance.
The queen's own sisters are also of the same age; And it was arranged by the queen herself. There is no room for error!
It's too late to take a shower, but it's easier to change into clean clothes from head to toe. He immediately pulled out his best set of regular clothes from his baggage...... Black gauze head, purple silk robe with round neck, white satin tunic, buckleskin boots.
This is not an official uniform, but it can only be worn by people of status. In Guo Shao's view, regular clothes are equivalent to casual wear, chic and tasteful; This is made to order in a high-end tailor shop in Tokyo, from cutting to stitching is impeccable, a famous tailor shop in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is the high-end of the industry.
He changed into his middle coat first, thinking that it would be easy to look bloated if he was too thick, and he gritted his teeth and was not afraid of the cold, so he directly covered his robe over his middle coat. After changing his clothes, he knocked again in front of the bronze mirror, stretched out his hand and wiped his sideburns, feeling very satisfied.
When Guo Shao came out of the bedroom, the brothers suddenly laughed, and Luo Mengzi laughed and said, "The eldest brother is going to be the groom's official, tsk!" ”
"Get your dirty hands away!" Guo Shao scolded, "Go and pack up the things in the house and leave." ”
The group quickly packed up and walked out of the room. Blown by the cold wind, Guo Shaozhi felt a little shivering on his body. The Daimyo's Mansion is separated from Tokyo by the Yellow River, and it is too cold.
He didn't plan to ride a horse, so he got into the carriage with a hug in front of him. Put the curtains down and cover them, there is no wind blowing, and I feel that I can still carry it.
