The door opened, and Guo Weiwei walked in from the outside angrily, followed by her younger brother Guo Jincheng, who was half a head shorter than her sister and followed listlessly.

Guo Song smiled and asked, "You two, what's wrong?" ”

"Daddy, that little house was bought for me, wasn't it?"

Guo Weiwei's tears swirled in her eyes, her mouth was deflated, and she was about to cry, "My mother gave the small house to my younger brother." ”

Only then did Guo Song react, little girls like to run a house, and she must like that small house, and she was a little out of calculation.

He looked at his son again, Guo Jincheng lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Obviously my mother gave it to me." ”

Guo Song laughed, of course her daughter wanted it too, but she was afraid of her mother, so she ran to find herself, Guo Song got up and said, "Let's go!" Let's take a look. ”

He led a pair of children to the back hall, Min Qiu also came with him, the back hall table was full of gifts that Guo Song brought back from Lanzhou, and Xue Tao was talking to Dugu Youlan! When she saw her husband coming with the child, she smiled and said, "I'm right! I must have run to file a complaint. ”

The biggest gift here is the woodcarved house, and it is equipped with more than 100 lifelike woodcarved villains, which can correspond to their own mansions, no wonder children like it.

Xue Tao pursed his lips and smiled: "Husband, this is something you provoked, you can solve it!" ”

Guo Song thought about it, then took a pen and wrote a note, handed it to a maid, and instructed her to say two words, and the maid hurriedly went.

Guo Song saw that the two children were looking at the wooden house with blank eyes, so he smiled and said: "Let's distribute the gifts first, the wooden house is not counted, four conches are given to my sister, a few small shells are given to Ah Cheng, and this tortoiseshell pen wash is also given to Ah Cheng." ”

The two children have no objection, Xiaowei likes beautiful conch, and although the small shell is small, it is fair to add a more beautiful tortoiseshell brush.

"This wooden house was actually bought by Daddy himself, and it will be placed in Daddy's study in the future, you can borrow it to play, play for two days and then return it to Daddy, so it's okay!"

Both children bowed their heads, apparently reluctant to do so.

Xue Tao and Dugu Youlan are both 'poof! He laughed out loud, thinking that his husband would uphold justice, saying that his sister would give it to his younger brother, but he didn't expect that in the end, no one would give it, and he would take it for himself, and he would really be with the mud.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Master, Zhao Xiu and the others brought a big wooden box." ”

"Let them come in!"

After a short time, three soldiers came to the courtyard carrying a large wooden box, they put the wooden box down, and from it they took out a delicate wooden model of the city, put it on the ground, and everyone saluted, and took the empty box away.

This wooden model is a miniature model of Zhangye City, three feet long and wide, three skilled carpenters spent more than half a year to make, and now the carpenter has made a larger model, this small model is placed in the warehouse, Guo Song decided to fake the public and give it to his children.

Guo Song took out the model of the house again, put it next to him, and said to the two children: "They are all about the same size, you can choose one each." ”

The two children cheered and ran up.

After all, the boy is a little more generous, Guo Jincheng took a fancy to the city at a glance, and he disdained the house.

Guo Weiwei chose the wooden house, she liked the more than 100 villains in it, and the city was empty, and there was no one.

Guo Song smiled and said to Xue Tao: "Isn't this solved?" ”

Xue Tao shook his head and said helplessly: "You! I know that I spoil my daughter. ”

"Who said that, I also spoil my son, and when I go back, I will let the carpenter be hundreds of villains, put them in the city, and let him play."

Guo Song solved the problem and turned around to go back to the study, but heard his wife say to his son: "Ah Cheng, is it okay for you to keep the pen washer?" ”

He almost fell headlong to the ground, what kind of mother is this!

..........

Early the next morning, Guo Song came to the official office, but he had not yet entered the door, but he saw Guo Yuniang standing in front of the door of his official room, Guo Yuniang was naturally the former Xiaoyu Niang, she is now the commander of Tiance Building, no one calls her Xiaoyu Niang anymore, Xue Tao also calls her Yu Niang.

"Yu Niang, when did you come back?"

"Returning to the envoy, I came back three days ago."

Guo Song glanced at her strangely, she usually calls herself eldest brother, but today she is serious and commensurate with her subordinates, she must have made some mistake.

"Come in and talk about it!"

Guo Song walked into the official room, the tea boy came in and served tea, Guo Song sat down, picked up the tea cup and said, "Say it!" What happened. ”

Guo Yuniang lowered her head and said with a look of shame: "The lowly duty is not effective, and the things that the envoy has given me have done badly. ”

Guo Song smiled and said: "The main reason for that incident is that the time is not yet ripe, I don't think it's your bad plan, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"The envoy is indeed ill-conceived, and he should not bury the jade tablet in the Golden Body Pavilion, but Liu Sigu saw through it, he thought of the relationship between the Golden Body Pavilion and the envoy, and finally persuaded Zhu Jun."

"You didn't think of the relationship between the Golden Body Pavilion and me at that time?"

"At that time, he only considered that there had been a celestial omen in the Golden Body Pavilion and would be more influential, but he ignored the relationship between the Golden Body Pavilion and the envoy."

Guo Song shook his head, "Things are not what you think, no one stipulates that if Tianzhao happens, it will be implemented immediately, I believe that Zhu Zhu is already convinced, but the conditions are not yet ripe, so he gave up, Liu Sigu's reason is not convincing, if Tianzhao happened in the palace, would Liu Shigu say that Tianzhao has something to do with Southern Tang?" The reason why I don't mention this is because I see it as a long-term effect, and in short, you don't blame yourself. ”

Guo Yuniang's heart let go slightly, and she said again: "This time, I have recruited a lot of skilled craftsmen, so that the master of the Weapons Inspector's Knife Department that Jun asked me to find, and I found three of them. ”

Guo Song hurriedly asked, "Can they build a Mo knife?" ”

"The Mo knife was built by their fathers, and none of them have built it in their generation, but the three of them are the top knifesmiths in the long knife department, as long as they get the drawings, they can build them, and they are already trying to figure out how to make drawings, so they should be a bit eyebrow-raising."

"Is the drawing of Modao still there?"

"The lowly position is still there, although it has stopped building for many years, and the drawings have been handed over to the Ministry of War, but the Ordnance Supervision Commission will keep a copy and store it in the library, and the lowly position is fighting this idea."

Guo Song nodded, "This matter is very important, we must get the drawings as soon as possible!" ”

.........

Chang'an Yongpingfang, here is a poor people's settlement, full of low and dilapidated thatched houses, of course, there are slightly better brick houses, compared to Pingkangfang these famous houses, the rent here is indeed very cheap, a yard covering an area of one acre, the monthly rent is only three money, if in Pingkangfang, Xuanyangfang, the rent is at least ten money.

On this morning, a man in his thirties came out of a half-old courtyard, thin and small, looking a little roe deer brain, his name is Xiao Wanwan, he was originally a small official in Lantian County, he had read for two years, and he knew a few hundred words, after the defeat of Jingyuan three years ago, a large number of middle and high-level officials fled, and Zhu Jun established a new imperial court, but he could not find officials, so he had to promote a large number of low-level officials, and low-level officials were promoted from the county officials.

Xiao Wanyu seized this opportunity to apply for the scribe department, and was actually selected, just like he passed the imperial examination, he happily entered Beijing as an official, and was named the undertaker from the eighth grade, and served as the chief secretary of the ordnance superintendent.

You must know that in the ninth year of Kaiyuan, the famous poet Wang Wei was a high school jinshi, and he only taught Taile Cheng from the eighth grade, Xiao Wanyu, the lowest level of the small official in charge of the warehouse, knew no more than five hundred words, and actually became an official from the eighth grade, and they were nicknamed officials by the people of Chang'an.

Although he became an official, his salary was not high, and he only paid five times a month plus various subsidies, and he had to pay three times to rent a house, so Xiao Wanwan, like all officials, had to rack his brains to use his position to make money in order to support his family.

No, the opportunity came, by chance, Xiao Wanwan met a big businessman from Hebei, this businessman introduced him to a way to make money, if it happened, he could get the benefit of three hundred taels of silver.

Three hundred taels of silver! Xiao Wanyu's eyes were about to turn red, Mo said that he just let him take advantage of his position, even if he let his wife go to the Qinglou to pick up guests, he could earn three hundred taels of silver, he was willing.

Xiao Wanyu carried a rag bag on his back, and hurriedly came to the Yanfu Restaurant in Yanfu Fang next door, where he often had a drink with friends, and when he came to the second floor, he saw Liu Dongzhu sitting by the window at a glance, that is, the big businessman from Hebei, and there was a person sitting next to him.

Xiao Wanyu sat down opposite them, put the cloth bag on the table and pushed it over, "The drawings you want are here!" ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva, and the man next to Liu Dongzhu took the bag, took out the drawings and looked at them, the drawings were thick and yellow, and the first one had four big characters written on it, and there was a seal of the ordnance supervisor below.

The drawings include the material formula and ratio of the Mo knife, the specific manufacturing method, the steps, the key points to pay attention to, etc., which are very comprehensive.

The man was very satisfied, and asked again: "I took this drawing, how do you explain it?" ”

Xiao Wanyu said confidently: "I said that it was destroyed according to the rules, anyway, it has long passed the shelf life, but no one cares, so it was not destroyed, and you are lucky." ”

The man laughed, took out a small bag and pushed it to him, "This is for you." ”

Xiao Wanyu was stunned, "There are three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

"This is thirty taels of gold?"

Xiao Wannian opened the small bag and took a look, and suddenly trembled, and the yellow gold dazzled his eyes.

After a while, he was greedy and said, "I can still get a lot of weapon drawings, what else do you need?" ”
