Chapter 13 Unprofessional Two-in-One
readx;
Guo Shan has passed the age of blind obedience, and he has long lost the childish complex of worshipping individual heroism. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's like when he was seven years old, he thought that his old man was the most powerful in the world, and later found out that his grandfather was even more powerful than the old man. Just as when he was fifteen years old, he admired those land hooligans who could use their fists to get awe from others, and thus became gangsters, after being beaten by his father, he never had such blind obedience.
Now he knows that people are not gods, his father is not the most powerful, ruffians and hooligans cannot be learned, and feudalism will harm people.
Exploit and be exploited, oppressed and oppressed. Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, Guo Shan has fully realized it.
Especially now, Guo Shan feels that he is deeply exploited by slave owners.
The old man suddenly asked Guo Shan to learn martial arts, and Guo Shan was not allowed to live in a mess. instructed him to have skills and become famous all over the world, and not to fall into his Xu Yunzi's name.
Guo Shan wondered, you bad old man, you don't have any eggs, why are you still famous? Besides, the name? In the name of your barefoot doctor?
Guo Shan sneered, the old man was angry, and finally the stick hit him critically. So much so that when he returned to Pingkangfang, Guo Shan still felt that his buttocks were hot and painful, and he couldn't say it.
The world is the biggest, and Guo Shan is still serious when facing his sister.
Flicked the corners of his clothes, sat half of his ass on the pony and checked his schoolwork.
Tang Juan learns very quickly, and she has her own skills. And Wang Susu's literary skills are well-known in Pingkangfang, and everyone calls him 'everyone'. In addition to Wang Susu's occasional help, and the female teacher invited by the palace is not an idler raised for nothing. Guo Shan thinks that Tang Xuan's literary skills are not weak compared to those children of the family.
Fortunately, he copied books by himself and copied some skills to quote scriptures, and he was not defeated in Tang Xuan's question.
stroked her sister's head with satisfaction, and said with relief: "Wan'er Guo lives up to me." ”
Tang Juan looked at his brother with admiration on his face and said, "I want to be as smart as my brother." ”
Guo Shan smiled when he heard this, and said with arrogance: "Dashan, my brother is waiting for you." ”
In fact, the pressure is great, she is shorter than her sister, and she usually needs to squat half-squatting to touch her head. In the past, I could use some mathematical arithmetic and some knowledge of later generations to admonish my sister, if the knowledge is compared again, then how can this brother be?
It hurts my self-esteem too much, it hurts my self-esteem too much.
Guo Shan hoped that Tang Juan would be stronger than him, but he also hoped that his combat effectiveness would not be so weak. I can't tell you how to deal with it.
"Where's the Susu girls?" Guo Shan decided to change the topic, and the headache and brain fever can come as much as you like.
"Sister Su Su said that she was going to visit a senior musician, and went out with Sister Ning. Brother, do you say that in seven days' 'everyone fights' Sister Su Su can win? Tang Juan's face was worried.
Since Wang Susu offended the 'prince' who appeared out of nowhere on the day of the beating, Yibin Lou actually resigned Wang Susu and Sister Ning.
It is said that Wang Susu's name is already known, where can he not eat with a mouthful of food?
But what is strange is that most of the Qinglou colleagues have treated Wang Susu coldly since that day, and most of the sisters who used to be good with her and Sister Ning no longer associate with them. Occasionally, a small half is still good with the two of them, but they are all refrigerated by the old mothers of the Qinglou and are not allowed to entertain guests.
It is conceivable that the so-called prince is still very big. Yibin Building and other courtyards must have heard some rumors.
After that, Wang Susu asked people around to inquire, but did not hear any specific remarks. But he knew that she was refrigerated, and it was a joint effort by several powerful sons of Chang'an City.
There are many nobles at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Nowadays, a prince pops out of here, and a prince pops up there, and the princes and grandsons also come to the courtyard to prostitute themselves. Therefore, these musicians know a lot of dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, so they are beautiful, and some well-educated people have to know dignitaries and nobles through them. But once in trouble, no one wants to deal with it. It's good not to fall into the well, and take advantage of the weakness.
"Miss Su Su is famous, and she is full of poetry and books, and even some talents may not be able to show off her talents. If you want to win the name of 'everyone', it should not be difficult. Although Guo Shan said this, he actually had no bottom in his heart.
Although this so-called everyone is not the Tang and Song Dynasty, everyone is about the same.
The word "everyone" has only been in vogue in the theater for a short time, and women like those who are quite famous and talented are named "everyone". It represents that he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is superior to others.
With the name of 'everyone', then you almost got rid of the identity of the despised dust woman. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. If Zhuge Liang is not famous, can Liu Bei know him?
"Where will the time come?" Guo Shan felt that he couldn't ignore it, and he was afraid that he couldn't manage it. No matter how bad Wang Susu is, he is better than him, don't you see that he is still renting someone else's house now? But I can't do it, I still have to ask. Guo Shan knows that he still owes the boss of the family.
"In four days, won't it be the Cold Food Festival? As soon as the Qingming Festival is over, I am ready to compete in the Hibiscus Garden. It is said that when the time comes, I will compete with Miss Yu. Tang Wan said.
"Which Yu girl?" Guo Shan frowned, he really didn't know what he had seen and heard about the elegant land of Chang'an.
"A year ago, a 'Sijun' poem became famous, Sister Su Su said that she was extremely famous, and many dignitaries invited her to sing songs when they feasted guests." Tang Qian replied.
Guo Shan frowned, did he think his sister knew too much?
Of course, knowing more is not a bad thing, but Guo Shan hates Tang Juan talking about a dusty woman in a worshipful tone.
Although there is nothing wrong with this in itself, the fault is that it makes Guo Shan very insecure. In case the girl wants to run out to be a clear person one day, who will she cry to?
can't be scolded, it's normal for children to have some worship complexes. It needs to be channeled.
"Poetry and songs, just taste. Xiao Juan, this is not something to envy. Your brother wants to compose a poem, and he will come and go when he raises his hand. Your brother wants to sing a song, and he sings casually. If you're painting, you've seen your brother's painting work okay, right? However, these are not something to be proud of, because they should not be used to gain fame in themselves. If they are not used as a tool to make a name for themselves, it is a bit of a reversal of the cart. ”
Tang Juan looked at Guo Shan with admiration, the little girl did have a plot of worship, but she admired Guo Shan.
She didn't doubt her brother's words at all, and she thought that his brother was the smartest person in the world.
Of course, Wang Susu definitely doesn't think so.
As soon as she got home, she heard Guo Shan's words, thinking that Guo Shan was really satirizing her literary competition seven days later. The anger in his heart came up, and the fatigue on his face couldn't hide his anger, and he couldn't help but sneer in his mouth: "It's a pity that Da Lang's eloquence doesn't go to the office." ”
Guo Shan's face was red, and he knew that Wang Susu had misunderstood. I wonder why you always appear in front of me when I say something misleading? Isn't that a heart for me to sit on wax?
The Winter Food Festival is coming, and every household is preparing for the biggest spring festival of the year.
Not only the people's homes, but also the royal family will also prepare.
The power of the people is huge, the people love to follow the style of the government, and the court must follow the customs of the people, not to mention the customs of the Cold Food Festival have been around for a long time.
Guo Shan has never had the Cold Food Festival, but he also knows that the Cold Food Festival will be Qingming two days later.
The Cold Food Festival has not passed, but the Qingming Festival has indeed passed.
However, if it weren't for Tang Juan mentioning it, he probably wouldn't have known that Qingming was coming.
Guo Shan didn't have any preparations for the cold food and Qingming Festival, but Wang Susu was obviously ready again.
Didn't you see people buying Zitui Yan and a basket of jujube cakes?
The most embarrassing thing is that they also gave half of it to their brothers and sisters, and they happened to hear their own words when they sent something.
Guo Shan's grievances are worse than Dou E's.
With a dry cough, Guo Shan pretended not to be frightened, and got up to greet him: "I asked my sister about Miss Susu's whereabouts before, why didn't Sister Ning come with you?" ”
Wang Susu glanced at Guo Shan coldly, and said lightly: "Go buy incense." ”
Guo Shan pretended not to see her ugly face, frowned and said worriedly: "I heard my sister say that the girl will fight with a girl surnamed Yu in seven days, is Miss Su sure?" ”
Wang Susu raised his eyebrows and said, "I suddenly don't want to compare, I don't think I should use the poetry of the saint to gain fame and fortune." ”
Guo Shan was so embarrassed that he was about to cry, but he could only admit it.
He waved his hand and said: "The girl is wrong, only competition can have the driving force" When he said this, he wanted to slap himself in the face.
When the Cold Food Festival arrived, the stingy slave owner Old Man Xu suddenly mercifully granted Guo Shan a five-day vacation, and also gave a reward of the usual money.
Looking at the old man's bodhisattva-like appearance, Guo Shan felt that it was incredible.
The treacherous and stingy iron rooster plucks the feathers for you, and your first reaction is definitely not to reach out to pick it up, but to prevent the iron rooster from using his iron feathers to poke your.
Guo Shan carefully guarded against the old man's sudden sneak attack on him, was the old man really compassionate? Pull it down, the old man is all holding back.
But the fact is that Guo Shan guessed wrong, and Old Man Xu really showed compassion.
If the thing is true, Guo Shan has nothing to fear.
What can money do? It was enough for him to buy rouge for his sister and buy new clothes before he had a big meal. Ordinary people don't necessarily have so much money in their homes. So much money, don't take it for nothing.
It stands to reason that Guo Shan is not the kind of person who is easy to be favored easily.
But that's only relative.
It has always been a lot of money for Guo Shan, but it is really nothing for Old Man Xu. In the past, Guo Shan still doubted that Old Man Xu would always do a loss-making business when he opened Chongde Medicine Store, but now he found out that the business was indeed a loss-making business. But why does Old Man Xu still do a loss-making business? It's because people don't care about the money at all.
After being in contact with Old Man Xu for so long, Guo Shan found that this old man was a complete landowner. Mingli opened a medicine store by himself, but in fact, he had thousands of hectares of fertile land in his own area of the Bahe River. There are more than 1,000 tenant farmers alone, and if he is not a landlord, then who is a landlord? The old man's family has much more fertile land than the official office of this dynasty.
Taking the old man's money, Guo Shan didn't think it was too much at all.
Especially when I took Tang Xuangu wine to buy food, I didn't think it was too much.
The Cold Food Festival has finally arrived, and the edict prohibits hundreds of families from lighting cigarettes. This is the custom of this festival in itself, so every household eats their own or bought Zitui Yan in the West Market, or makes their own cold food for the festival.
Early in the morning, large families hired cars to go out of the city, and the people dragged their families up the mountain to worship their ancestors.
Guo Shan had no ancestors to sacrifice, so he took his sister to the small hillside outside the Bahe River to look at the sky and sprinkle wine.
"Xiaojuan, it's the eleventh day of the New Year, right?" Guo Shan asked.
Tang Juan was sad and nodded after listening to Guo Shan's words.
Guo Shan sighed: "You are growing so fast, you were not so big when I first met you in Lanzhou a year ago." When my aunt died, I asked me to take care of you, but you have been running around with me all this year, but you have taken pity on you. Guo Shan stroked Tang Xuan's head and said with pity.
The little girl's tears were dripping when Guo Shan's sensational words were said, and she didn't know whether she thought of her dead mother or the military disaster in Lanzhou City a year ago.
The two met at that time, and Tang Juan's mother kindly took Guo Shan, who had just worn his soul to the Tang Dynasty, into the carriage and took him to escape the war in Lanzhou. But like many people in Lanzhou City, they were not lucky. In the end, the people who escaped from Lanzhou City alive out of the war were the only two of them in a car.
Guo Shan was very grateful to Tang Juan's mother, if it weren't for that woman, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the hands of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses. If it weren't for the woman's kindness, he Guo Shan would have been nailed to the city wall with a long spear like many children in Lanzhou City.
"I'm ashamed of my aunt and your sister." Guo Shan burst into tears.
This guy only cried once during the war a year ago, and now he worships the dead, and he cries out for some heartstrings that he doesn't know what he touched.
The little girl burst into tears early, where could she stand Guo Shan's voice? Wow followed the cry, thinking of her own sister who was lost in the war, she felt that it was not easy to live now.
hugged each other and cried, both of them felt that there was only one relative in this world.
God sneezed, and the sky suddenly darkened, and the rain drenched the entire small hill.
Guo Shan stopped crying, his sadness came and went quickly. Roll up the robe and cover Tang Juan and run down the hillside, scolding in his heart that it was not the right time for the rain. But thinking that the Qingming Festival in the previous life often rained, this is also relieved, I really don't know if I have a cold food now, is the family in the future also having a Qingming Festival? I thought of them when I was cold, and I didn't think of myself when they were clear?
Guo Shan was a little sad, and he decided to rent a carriage and go back quickly. Say goodbye to this rainy cold food festival and say goodbye to this sad grave sacrifice custom.
But where is the carriage so easy to find? In the end, he happened to meet Wang Susu, who also worshiped his ancestors, so he stuffed Tang Juan on someone's carriage, and as for Guo Shan, he couldn't go up. Sister Ning, plus Tang Juan and Wang Susu, although there is an empty space in the carriage, it is not a place that Guo Shan can squeeze.
Gotta walk home.
On this day, Guo Shan felt that he was very sad.
I took my sister to the hillside with the incense paper and cried for a while, and God began to rain to urge them to go back. It doesn't seem like he's a lucky person, and he doesn't even cry for a while.
Walking across the Baqiao, Guo Shan's whole person became a soup chicken.
The robe was drenched, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to the flesh. With every step, you can feel the egg being pulled, not to mention how uncomfortable it feels.
There were several people squatting under the thatched hut of the wine shop next to the Baqiao, all of whom did not bring rain gear. The restaurant immediately smiled, and at a glance, he knew that these people didn't spend much time in Chang'an City.
Cold Food Festival, what does it mean that there will not be a rain in the sky?
Those who have money sell wine and simply drink to warm their stomachs when they hide from the rain under the hut, while those who have a little money but are reluctant to spend it, such as Guo Shan, have to stand aside and watch.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and finally two more people came.
One of them was thin and wore a hat and a cloak. The other was a man who was carrying a simple knife and leading a horse to stroll in the rain.
The situation was quite strange, and what was even more strange was that the two men stopped two feet away from the wine shop. I don't know what to say.
Guo Shanle is happy, if you don't hide from the rain, you have to be drenched, either you are a fool or a person in temperament. It turned out that Guo Shan's guess was wrong.
These two people, one old and one strong, are neither stupid nor temperamental, they are clearly two people in the rivers and lakes.
An old man and a strong man quarreled vaguely, and Zhuang asked, "Are you really not going back?" I didn't hear what the old man said, but I saw the strong man raise his knife, and the light of the knife swept the old man's neck with the rain.
The old man was faster, and with one hand raised, he grabbed the wrist of the strong knife, and pushed the strong knife-wielding hand back.
The people who sheltered from the rain under the thatched huts of the wine shops were dumbfounded.
Is this a busker? It's not like that.
As for the Cold Food Festival, no one will reward you for performing here on a rainy day.
Guo Shan didn't blink, he hadn't seen this live version of a martial arts film yet. Look at the fight between these two people, one performs I don't know which faction's knife technique, and the other performs the routine of grabbing the white blade empty-handed.
The old one seems to have made a move to the iron plate bridge in Jin Yong's novel, and the strong one seems to be using Xiao Shiyilang's knife technique in Gu Long's novel. Back and forth, the fight is not lively.
It's a pity that there are no people from the Qingcheng faction under the thatched hut, otherwise it would be just a repertoire of flattening the sand and falling geese with the butt backwards.
'Bang', the battle ended with a strong man with a knife being knocked away with a palm.
To the great disappointment of those present, the man did not continue to fight with the old man, but arched his hands, muttered two lines of 'I will come back', and then beat the horse and left.
No, this line is a gray wolf, why are you embarrassed to plagiarize? Guo Shan felt that the competition was really boring, there was no domineering star-sucking ** in Jin Yong's novels, and there was no unpredictable Xiao Li Feidao in Gu Long's novels, no matter how good the chivalrous performance of the Seven Swords under the Tianshan Mountain was also very good.
These two people in the rivers and lakes are really unprofessional.
Guo Shan commented in his heart, but soon he was shocked.
After the old man drove away the strong man, he turned his head and pressed the hat on his head, and the familiar sharpened chin and the jade pendant on his waist Guo Shan could see it at a glance.
Damn, who is this old man not Old Man Xu?
Guo Shan, who was still lively just now, now feels that he has become an insider, can he still be an outsider happily? Apparently not possible.
Jumping into the rain curtain by stepping on the muddy pond, pulling Old Man Xu's sleeve and looking up. Oh, it's really this old horseman.
"Why did you get into a fight? Who is that man? Bullied you? Guo Shan's angry appearance is like a chicken protecting a calf, don't you see that there is a meaning of protection in his tone?
Old man Xu raised his head in disdain, and said, "Didn't you see that the old man won?" You should ask if the kid's hand will be able to be used in the future. ”
I don't know if the man's hand can be used by Guo Shan in the future, but he knows completely that the old man is not injured.
Decades of royal guards are really not done for nothing, no wonder martial arts novels say that eunuchs are the top masters.
"Look at your smugness, do you really think there is a chance to fight?" Guo Shan said sarcastically disdainfully, and then said seriously: "Didn't you come here during the Cold Food Festival?" How did you get here? ”
Old man Xu pulled his neck and said domineeringly: "Go back and say, haven't you seen that other people look at us only when they look at fools?" ”
At a glance, sure enough, the people squatting in the hut were all looking at this side. Guo Shan was displeased, thinking that he was not afraid of a big deal when he saw the excitement, I am afraid that these people still want to have a dragon and tiger fight with Old Man Xu. Do you really think of the two of you as mischievous? Besides, although I have learned two kung fu moves from Old Man Xu in the past two days, it is all fancy. Old man Xu can't bear it by himself, fight with him, you try?
ps: The sound of firecrackers is one year old, and the extra number of words is here to greet everyone for the New Year.
