Before the Song Dynasty, ordinary families had two meals, one in the morning and one in the evening, but Guo Song's master made them eat three meals, and they have become accustomed to it in the past ten years.
Guo Song ate a large bowl of mutton soup and cooked noodles before he was full for lunch. He looked for Mengzi again. He probably went out of the city to look for food and was not in the Bird's Nest. Guo Song walked around the city again. This time
Then he wandered back to his residence.
"Brother Guo!"
Shi Tong, who was peering around the door, finally spotted Guo Song, and ran up to him with both joy and complaint, "Where have you been? My neck feels sore."
"I went to buy clothes, and you didn't say you would be back at noon."
"I'm not looking for you, it's Mr. Liang. He has been waiting for you for almost half an hour."
Guo Song was stunned for a moment, "Which Mr. Liang?"
"Brother Guo, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
Liang Wu walked out with a smile, gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's true that people need clothes, Buddha needs gold. After changing his clothes, Brother Guo has completely changed."
Guo Song said apologetically: "I didn't expect brother Xian Liang to come, so I kept him waiting for a long time."
"Brother Guo lives here?" Guo Wu glanced at the dilapidated house next door.
"It's just a two-day stay. I'll give them the rent before I leave."
When Guo Song said this, it meant that he had nothing to do with the Guo family.
"Come in and sit down!"
Shi Tong quickly invited them into the yard. There were tables and chairs in the yard. The sun was warm and bright, so they could sit in the yard and bask in the afternoon sun.
The two sat down at the table, and Shi Tong cooked soup for them again.
Guo Song took a sip of hot soup, and it tasted like borscht soup of later generations. But where did the tomatoes come from in the Tang Dynasty?
He was a little surprised and said: "Little Fatty, this soup is good!"
Shi Tong scratched his head and said sheepishly: "It's a recipe left by my father, which can quickly restore physical strength."
Liang Wu also smiled and said: "Little Fatty is famous for his cooking in our martial arts studio. Any simple ingredients can become delicious in his hands. We all say it is a pity that he does not want to be a cook.
"
"I'm not a cook, I have no status, and I can't make any money." Shi Tong muttered in a low voice.
"Brother Liang Xian, is it easy to make money in Lingzhou?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
Liang Wu shook his head, "You can only make a small amount of money in Lingzhou. My father said that you can make a lot of money in Chang'an. Those rich and powerful people can spend thousands of dollars without blinking an eye."
Shi Tong was dumbfounded. He couldn't even dream of thousands of dollars.
Guo Song knew that Liang Wu was a little exaggerated. It was true that Chang'an was the center of wealth in the Tang Dynasty, but things worth thousands of dollars could not be found anytime and anywhere. They would have to be rare treasures, unless they were buying a house.
But how many times can a person buy a house in his lifetime?
It seemed that Liang Wu didn't understand it very well, so Guo Song changed the subject.
"Brother Liang Xian, do you have any news about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
Liang Wu pondered for a moment and said to Guo Song: "I have already inquired about Han Xiaowu's family, but the result may disappoint you."
"His family members died?" Guo Song asked.
Liang Wu nodded, "His father died of illness and his mother remarried and is no longer in Lingzhou."
Guo Song's eyes dimmed and he sighed, "It's a relief!"
"And your household registration, do you really plan to live in the Guo family? Let me tell you, it is impossible for the Guo family to set up a separate household for you. You can only register under someone else's household registration. That is called an unorganized household, which is also called a non-registered household.
Lowly household."
Guo Song frowned. He really didn't understand the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty. He turned around and asked Shi Tong, "Can you do it?"
Shi Tong nodded, "Our family is a low-income non-educated household."
"What about my parents in Mingsha County?" Guo Song asked again.
"I checked for you. Although they registered their accounts, they closed their accounts thirteen years ago."
Guo Song was a little confused. He thought that registering with the government was all he needed to register, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. There was also the difference between a registered household and a low-income household. Of course, he didn't want to become a low-income household, so he hesitated for a while.
Shi Tong scratched his head and said, "Brother Guo, just ask my senior brother to help you!"
Guo Song perked up and looked at Liang Wu expectantly.
Liang Wu smiled and said: "Of course I am willing to help, but I have to make it clear that my brother may have nothing to do with the Guo family after he establishes his own business."
"That's what I asked for!"
"Okay then, give me the ultimatum and I will help you get it done within three days."
Guo Song took out the ultimatum from his arms and handed it to him, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me what to do?"
"It may be difficult for ordinary people, but my uncle is the governor of the governor's office and joins the army. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for him, because your parents both have registered households. My uncle will ask Mingsha County to restore your parents' household registration first, and then you can
You can inherit their household registration, then find an unowned house in Lingwu County and put your household registration on it. It is completely legal and there will be no problems."
Guo Song was moved in his heart. He originally thought that Liang Wu would take advantage of a loophole to help him settle down, pretending to be someone else, but he didn't expect that Liang Wu would help him settle down legally and create a household registration from scratch. This is a big favor!
"Then I have to thank your uncle."
"Don't be so polite. I have another thing to do today. My parents would like to invite you over for a casual dinner tonight. Thank you for your help."
Guo Song quickly waved his hand, "That's no need!"
"If you don't go, they will come to invite you in person."
Guo Song had no choice but to nod, "Okay! I'll just go."
Liang Wu was overjoyed and stood up and said: "Where is your luggage? I will help you get it!"
"What...what does this mean?"
"Of course I am moving to Liangjiabao. There is a guest house there. You are my guest. Do you still want to continue living here?"
Of course Guo Song didn't want to live here. Since his household registration was not in the Guo family, he would rather stay in an inn, but he had promised his fat aunt.
He glanced at Shi Tong, who immediately said sincerely: "Brother Guo, go ahead! My mother will definitely be very happy."
Guo Song thought for a while, took out the bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Shi Tong, "The big green donkey is fostered in the horse and mule farm opposite. I don't need it anymore, so I'll give it to you."
Where Shi Tong was willing to accept it, Guo Song repeatedly explained that it was given to him by Guard Xiao Guan and he didn't spend any money. Shi Tong couldn't refuse it, so he reluctantly accepted it.
Since Han Xiaowu's family was gone, Guo Song planned to use the reward money to buy himself a good horse. The big green donkey was too slow and almost choked him to death as he rode all the way over.
Guo Song packed up his things, said goodbye to Shi Tong, and followed Liang Wu to Guojiabao.
Just when the two of them came out of Shi Tong's house, several people on horseback came running towards them at extremely fast speeds, causing dust to fly all the way.
The leading knight saw Liang Wu at a glance. He immediately reined in the reins and pretended to be surprised: "Isn't this Mr. Liang? Why did he come out of our Guo family's enclosure? Could it be that your lover is here?"
Guo Song looked at this man and saw that he was wearing a white brocade robe. He was about the same age as himself, his skin was very white, and he was very handsome, but there was an evil look between his eyebrows.
Liang Wu almost said, "If this was a brothel, maybe someone would be my lover," but thinking that Shi Tong's family was here, he couldn't say this.
Liang Wu gave him a cold look, ignored him, and said to Guo Song, "Let's go!"
A follower next to him smiled and said: "Master, I understand. There is a fat woman living in that courtyard. Master Liang must have hooked up with her."
Guo Song's expression changed. He reached into his bag and broke off the iron thorn on his ring. With a flick of his finger, the iron thorn shot into the dung gate of the attendant's horse.
The horse roared violently, raised its front hooves high, knocked the attendant to the ground, and then ran away wildly. The attendant's foot was still hung in the stirrup, dragging on the ground, screaming and shouting: "Help!"
Everyone was in chaos, and they all urged their horses to catch up. The young master did not care to continue to provoke Liang Wu. He glared at Liang Wu and said: "I will settle the score with you in the future!"
He waved his whip and urged his horse to catch up.
Liang Wu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good work!"
Although Liang Wu didn't see Guo Song's actions, he could guess that the guy's mouth was dirty and annoyed Guo Song.
Guo Song did not deny it and asked: "Is this young man a descendant of the Guo family?"
Liang Wu nodded, "His name is Guo Sheng. He is the youngest son of Guo Shichang. He was once my defeated general."
Guo Song turned around and looked at the young man's back. It turned out that he was the one who had taken the title of his predecessor.
…………
Guo Song has stayed in Liangbao for two nights and slept very soundly. He lives in the east courtyard of the main residence, which is also a place for guests to live. There are more than a dozen rooms, but currently only Guo Song lives in the entire east courtyard.
Song Yiren.
The living conditions are indeed very good, the room is bright and tidy, all kinds of furniture are available, all kinds of utensils and utensils are also of high quality, and there are two little maids to serve. Compared with his residence in the Guo family, it is simply a
Heaven and earth.
Guo Song changed into a 70% new blue fine linen shirt, with a leather belt around his waist, horsehide boots, and a black gauze hat. These were Liang Wu's clothes.
Compared with the long samurai uniform he bought himself before, Guo Song still likes this t-shirt. That samurai uniform was too revealing and too eye-catching, which did not fit his low-key personality.
Just after putting on his robe, his wooden sword was too heavy to wear with him. Guo Song considered whether he needed to buy another sword?
The martial arts style was strong in the Tang Dynasty, and almost all men wore swords. This is just like how every man in the Song and Ming Dynasties carried a folding fan. The sword was both a self-defense object and an ornament.
The green shadow flashed, and a little maid in an emerald green short dress walked in gently carrying a tea cup. She put the tea cup on the table, looked at Guo Song up and down, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you killed someone the day before yesterday."
Got a pig?"
Guo Song was a bit dumbfounded. When did he change his career to become Guo Butcher?
"Who did you listen to? The rumors outside are not trustworthy."
"Everyone in the house said so, but I think they made a mistake. You should have killed a wild boar, right?"
"That's right! Thank you for the tea."
Guo Song picked up the tea cup and saw that the little maid had not left yet, so he said: "It's nothing, please step aside first!"
But the little maid acted as if she didn't hear anything. She walked to the wall with her hands behind her hands and looked up at the ironwood sword hanging on the wall. She seemed to be asking Guo Song, or she was saying to herself: "This wooden sword is actually made of ironwood."
Made from a core, I estimate it weighs at least thirty kilograms, little Taoist, am I right?"
Guo Song was startled, this was not like a maid's style!
He couldn't help but look at this little lady. Although she was wearing a maid's short clothes, her temperament was completely different. She looked very confident. Her appearance was much prettier than the two little maids in the courtyard, and her skin was as white as jade, unlike the two.
The little maid is dark and rosy.
She looks to be about twelve or thirteen years old. Her hair is combed into a bun with a single ring and a jade hairpin inserted at an angle. A strand of black hair hangs down on her face, making her look a bit naughty.
She has a very delicate oval face, slender eyebrows, big and bright eyes, a straight nose bridge, a slightly warped nose tip, and rosy and full lips. She is a perfect little beauty.
"You...who are you?" Guo Song asked hesitantly.
"Of course I am a little maid! What do you think?"
The little maid smiled again and said: "It seems that your strength is not bad, I will test your reaction again!"
She flipped her hand, and a small silver ingot hit Guo Song's forehead with a "Whoosh!", as fast as lightning, extremely fast. If you react a little slower, you will definitely be hit.
Guo Song didn't panic, turned to one side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the small silver ingot.
"That's right! That's right! If you are a teachable boy, Sister Yinbazi will reward you with candies."
The little maid left like a gust of wind.
Guo Song was confused, where did this little lady come from? Is it a maid or someone else? She came and went inexplicably.
However, this young lady was very generous and actually gave herself a silver coin. Guo Song weighed it and found that it weighed at least two taels.
'wrong!'
Guo Song suddenly felt that this ingot of silver was too heavy. Judging from its size, it should be one tael of silver, but when weighed in his hand, it weighed two taels.
Guo Song carefully looked at the silver ingot in his hand and finally found a fine line. He broke the silver apart with force and was dumbfounded. The silver had only a shell, but it was filled with lead.
