Chapter 38 Gao Qiu's family is not rich
Wu Haogu looked at the woman with her breasts exposed in front of him. When he was a little stunned, Guo Jing stood up drunk, staggered forward, and twisted a handful of Yan Po'er's big papaya.
"Yan Po'er, Sa's family comes to tell you that this person is famous. The Shengwu paintings on Panlou Street are so ancient, and the official of the Wuda University!"
"Yeah, it turns out he is an official from the Wuhan University."
Yan Po'er glanced at Wu Haogu Yingying, then gently pulled the bra and made a happy wish, saying softly: "I have met the official of Wu Da."
Wu Haogu was a man of both life, and he was very serious. Although he had made friends with several geniuses in this life, he was the kind of person who was not a person. He had never dealt with such a bold and arrogant woman. But he still gave a gift: "It turns out that it is Miss Yan, Dalang is polite."
"It's really a young man." Yan Po'er smiled foolishly, "If I were a teenager, I could afford this gift. But now I am a puppy who wants to be happy... If Dalang is interested, he can come to Yihongyuan to look for a slave at any time."
Wu Haogu was bullied by her words, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she said juicyly: "Miss Yan... I'm looking for Brother Guo San and Liu Xiaoyi's some mundane affairs."
"It's still very literary, Nunu likes it the most..." Yan Po'er gave Wu Haogu another charming look. Seeing that the other party did not respond, he turned his head and asked Guo Jing, "Third Brother, how about it?"
Guo Jing has a good alcohol tolerance and is only slightly drunk until now. Seeing Wu Haogu bringing Gao Qiu to find him, he knew that there must be something serious. He stood up and said to Yan Po'er, "Po'er, Liu Xiaoyi is so drunk, I will keep you here tonight. Wu Dalang and this great official are here."
"Okay, let's leave Liu Xiaoyi." Yan Po'er was reasonable and immediately left with another sister, holding the drunk Liu Wuji.
Wu Haogu then introduced to Gao Qiu and Guo Jing: "Brother, this is my brother Guo Jing, known as Guo Sanlang. The one just now was Liu Wuji, known as Liu Xiaoyi.
Third brother, this great official is the brother Gao Qiu I often talk to you."
Guo Jing bowed and gave a gift, "Little Guo Jing, I have met a tall official."
"Not to mention the great official," Gao Qiu waved his hand politely, "Gao is also a man from an imperial guard and is considered a comrade of Brother Guo San, so he is not as good as a brother.
This is not a place to talk, so why not go to my house, right in Yousanying Lane.”
In the area of the north wing of Kaifeng City, most of the place names are related to military camps, but not all the people living here are imperial guards or family members of imperial guards. This is because Wang Anshi laid off a lot of people during the reform, and the generals stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture had a lot of vacancy quotas for each unit, and the actual force of each command was usually only half of the post.
Therefore, it is very lucky for Ding Nan in the North Enclosure of Kaifeng City to obtain a position in the imperial guards.
However, even though Guo Jing was "so lucky", he could not buy property in Kaifeng Prefecture anymore, so he could only rent two dilapidated houses with his mother and an unmarried girl.
In order to save some money on housing, he even half of the house he lived in to Liu Wuji, a fake Taoist priest who came from the outside mansion.
Even if he is so frugal, Guo Sanlang still can't save money and doesn't have to think about buying a house. Even if he doesn't have many opportunities to be romantic and happy in places like Yihongyuan.
It was not until I made a big deal with Wu Haogu not long ago that I became a little overwhelmed.
However, if you want to establish a family in Kaifeng Prefecture and then marry your girl to a good family with a decent appearance, the money you can get from the "Drunk Arhat Picture" is still not enough.
The Kaifeng Prefecture is now really familiar to Wu Haogu, as if it was the metropolis where he worked hard in his later generations.
Money is easy to make. Even if you work, you can get a few dollars a month, which is equivalent to working in many small places for a year.
But there are more places to spend money, so most people feel that they are tight on their hands.
Even the house of "Taiwei Gao Qiu" does not look very spacious. There is no yard, but only a tile house built along the narrow streets and alleys. It is far less spacious than the house of the Wu family in the First Tianshui Lane, and it looks a bit dilapidated. I don't know how many days I have not built it.
Of course, being able to have a small house in the north wing of Kaifeng’s outer city is actually an enviable family business.
In Wu Haogu's impression, this house cannot be taken down without a 5,000 or 6,000 cranes!
With the income from Gao Qiu to be a clerk, it is difficult to buy this house even if he has some extra money. It is estimated that this house is also a property left by the ancestors of the Gao family.
Gao Qiu took Wu Haogu, and when Guo Jing walked into the alley, a tall and thin young man in patched Confucian uniform greeted him.
"Brother, you're back. My sister-in-law and nephews are waiting anxiously."
Gao Qiu smiled at Wu Haogu and Guo Jing, pointed at the young man and said, "He is my brother Gao Lian, who is also studying in Kaifeng Prefecture School. He should be classmates with the second child of Dalang's family."
In addition to a younger brother, Gao Qiu also has three "Yanei", named Gao Yaokang, Gao Yaofu and Gao Yaoqing. They are now little kids, studying in private schools in the north wing of the city. Now they all go home after classes, waiting for dinner.
Gao Qiu's wife, whose wife was named Chao, was in her thirties. She was a tall and stout woman with very white skin and was a typical female family member of the imperial guards. Because the Northern Song Dynasty officials liked to select tall and white men to join the Fourth Army and the squads, the imperial guards and soldiers in Kaifeng, including generals, all liked to marry tall women as wives and concubines.
After more than a hundred years of "variety improvement", all men and women who come out of the old imperial guards or generals are often tall and white.
Gao Qiu, Chao, Pan Xiao'an, Pan Qiaolian, and Wang Shi all have this kind of appearance. Guo Jing was also tall, but he was a little thick and dark. He probably wouldn't have a good future in the Kaifeng Imperial Army of the Northern Song Dynasty who relied on his face to make a living.
Gao Qiu led Wu Haogu. When Guo Jing entered the house, he was wearing a shirt and an apron. Gao Chao, dressed in a working woman, had already brought his three children to meet the guests.
Chao's age should be better than martial arts, Feng Erniang, the stepmother of ancient times, is younger, but because of the hardships of life, she looks old and has crow's feet on the corners of her eyes. After giving birth to three children, her figure has also changed. However, it can still be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.
Gao Qiu’s three babies are still young, and the oldest is only about ten years old. He is not yet open. He is short and thin, and is also very regular. He respectfully saluted Wu Haogu and Guo Jing. But I don’t know if he will rob Lin Chong’s wife when he grows up?
After showing off, Chao took three unemployed babies to the kitchen, and did not sit with the Gao Qiu brothers and the two guests.
The Gao family's house not only looks dilapidated, but it is also very crowded inside. When you enter the door, you will find the main hall, with a square wooden table and a few old chairs inside. It was already dark outside, so there was an oil lamp in the house, which was very dark.
I don’t know if it was because of the rainy days ago that the house was a little moldy. As soon as Wu Haogu entered, he smelled a musty smell, which was very similar to the houses in the crowded Jiangnan town where Wu Haogu lived in his previous life.
The four of them each found a chair and sat down. After a while, the Chao family of Gao Qiu brought some wine and food. There was a plate of rabbit meat, a plate of steamed lamb, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of scrambled eggs, a stack of cloud beans, a large plate of cooked cakes and two pots of turbid wine.
Gao Qiu hugged his fists, "I don't respect you if you have a little home-cooked side dish."
Guo Jing laughed: "You can cook your side dishes and go to my house tomorrow. There is no such food yet."
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly: "If you can't send a vote, you will be afraid that you will go to Kaifeng Prefecture for a prison meal again."
"Eat a prison meal? Why did you eat a prison meal?"
Gao Qiu's younger brother Gao Lian was already hungry and kept staring at the food on the table, waiting to move. He accidentally heard someone going to go to the jail. He was startled and looked up at Guo Jing, who was dark.
"Dalang, is there really no way?" Gao Qiu looked at Wu Haogu with sympathy.
Wu Haogu also looked at Gao Qiu and suddenly smiled and said, "There is still one road."
"What is the best way?" Gao Qiu asked.
