The weather has gradually entered summer, and the pedestrians on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion are more thinly dressed. Gauze and silk gowns can be found everywhere. The Great Song Dynasty is not like the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with strict hierarchies, and there are strict rules on what kind of people wear what kind of clothes, and even if there are regulations, no one has followed them until now. On the street, as far as the eye can see, there are flowers in full bloom.

A group of people rode donkeys and walked all the way along Mahang Street, straight to the direction of Anyuan Gate in the north of the city. The first in this group of people is Wu Hao Gu Wu Dalang. He was now riding on the donkey, looking left and right, and he looked very proud. Behind him are Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, two brothers, who also look like Yu Youyan, obviously proud to follow the "big brother" of Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu is now preparing to travel eastward, and has been buying calligraphy and painting works in the Panlou market for several days, and has also asked Pan Qiaolian to go to the quality warehouse of several gold, silver and silk silk shops, and almost collected all the calligraphy and paintings worth 20,000 yuan.

If 20,000 yuan is used to buy famous paintings, it will be just a few pieces of paper. However, to buy ordinary quality paintings and calligraphy, I bought hundreds of them. The martial artist's calligraphy and painting house also has tens of thousands of ordinary goods, and they are also collected by Wu Haogu and packed more than a dozen large camphor wood boxes.

And Wu Haogu's funds, in addition to giving Wu Cheng more than 40,000 yuan, asked him to redeem the painting and mortgage of the famous paintings, there are only more than 20,000 yuan left (because the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" and "Protector of the Law and the Good God Map" were not returned, so Wu Haogu has the money to redeem the painting), and there are also some money that belongs to Wu Haogu, Guo Jing, and Fu Monk. It's almost the only way to buy this bit of goods, after all, you always have to leave some liquidity for trading.

As for Wu Haogu's three brothers, although they all have tens of thousands of old books, Wu Haogu knows that they all have their own uses. Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu have not yet bought a house in Kaifeng Mansion and started a family.

Therefore, Wu Haogu did not ask them to take the capital out and buy shares.

The group went out of Anyuan Gate in a blink of an eye, and arrived near the famous North Wazi of Zhoubei, the first Wu Haogu looked around, and then glanced at the dense low-rise houses around him, and then smiled: "Third brother, you said that those good men live near the left, right?" Tell me about it. ”

It turned out that Wu Haogu was here to find bodyguards to escort him today, and it was a bit troublesome to find it. Because there is no dart bureau in the Great Song Dynasty at present, the big merchants in the buying and selling houses, such as the Pan family's gold, silver, silk and silk shops, all have their own guards. And a businessman of the level of Wu Haogu is a temporary hired guard.

Of course, there is also a need to hire guards. No one hires the ploppy idlers in Kaifeng Mansion, and this wave of people is a little horizontal in Kaifeng Mansion, and it is nothing when they go out of the city.

And the best guards in Kaifeng Mansion are all from the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty. It's not just a forbidden soldier who can be a bodyguard, most of the forbidden soldiers are part-time "show off their art and don't sell their lives". Only a very small number of people with real kung fu can go to work as bodyguards.

"Da Lang, the Sprinkle family has hired good hands this time," Guo Jing said quite proudly, "The leader is the Shibo of the Sprinkle family, Lin Wancheng, the head of the Japanese army's guns and sticks, and he and his eldest son, Lin Chong, the head of the Kobayashi sect, ......."

"Who?" Wu Haogu suddenly heard a very familiar name, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Leopard head Lin Chong? ”

"Ah, it turns out that Da Lang knows Lin Chong."

What's going on? Why did you run in "Water Margin"?

Or is there really someone in history?

Wu Haogu was not sure, and asked again: "Is it Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army?" ”

"Eight hundred thousand?" Guo Jing sneered, "What did Da Lang say?" Where is there a forbidden army as many as 800,000 in the Great Song Dynasty? And...... There is no dispatch from the head of the 800,000 forbidden army? ”

Liu Wuji, who followed, interjected: "The head of the sect is a miscellaneous, not much stronger than ordinary military men and red guys.

In the north of the city, these people are very down! ”

Is Lin Chong down?

Wu Haogu knew that Lin Chong in "Water Margin" was not bad, he had a single-family house with a yard in Kaifeng Mansion, and he also had a beautiful wife Zhang Niangzi at home, and he could casually take out a thousand or hundreds to buy a knife to play.

If he hadn't been killed by Gao Yu's brother, he should have been able to live happily until Jin Bing went south......

However, after living in Kaifeng Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty for a period of time, Wu Haogu knew that most of the descriptions of Lin Chong's family background in "Water Margin" were nonsense.

Detached house with yard...... Wu Haogu's family is also at this level! The martial artist is a big businessman in the calligraphy and painting shop of Kaifeng Mansion, and there is always a family of seventy or eighty thousand, known as one hundred thousand.

How can a forbidden army leader be compared?

Guo Jing, Guo Banxian, isn't his father the head of the Western Army? After a lifetime in the forbidden army, he couldn't leave a broken tile house for his son, where did the Lin family come from? How can you afford a yard in Kaifeng Mansion?

……

Lin Chong and his father Lin Wancheng must have never watched "Water Margin", if they did, they would definitely envy Lin Chong, the leopard head who caused people to ruin their families.

Because Shi Nai'an's Lin Chonglin Jiaotou has a big house, and he also has a wife, and his wife is actually very beautiful!

But Lin Chong, who lives in the cruel reality, is also good-looking, tall and heroic. He has also practiced a good skill, and he is proficient in all long and short weapons, and he can ride horses and shoot arrows. Moreover, he is both civil and military, and he has read poetry books in the academy for many years, and his calligraphy is only slightly worse than Gao Yu.

But he didn't have a precious house, and the man in his early thirties, with his grandmother and a younger brother, was crammed into two small rooms in the fourth battalion on the right side of the north of the city.

Even these two small houses are not the property of the Lin family's father and son, but belong to the military camps owned by the Great Song Dynasty.

In other words, in reality, Leopard Toulin is a houseless household, and he is also an unmarried older youth, and there is no lady who can bully Gao Yu's three underage "Yanei".

What a tragedy on earth!

"Lao Lin Sect Head, the slave knows that your family's Lang Jun is dignified, both civil and military, and also knows that Xiaolin Sect Leader and Zhang Niangzi have known each other for a long time, and they are concubines. But this matchmaker can't be guaranteed, you don't have a house......"

Just when Guo Jing led Wu Haogu all the way to find him, there were guests in the two dilapidated houses of the Lin family.

The visitor was a woman in her thirties, of medium height, with a somewhat coarse birth, and at first glance it was clear that she was a woman born and raised in the barracks.

Her surname is Gao, and she is also a little related to Gao Yu, known as Gao Niangzi, her husband is also a miscellaneous military attaché, and she is a matchmaker.

Sitting face to face with Mrs. Gao was an old man in his sixties, with white hair and hair, but he looked very majestic.

This old man is Lin Chong's father, and Lin Wancheng, the head of the old Lin sect. He and Guo Jing's father were both from the Western Army and were transferred to the Kaifeng Forbidden Army. Therefore, there is no foundation here in Kaifeng Mansion, and there is no talk of buying property.

Lin Chong was standing behind Lin Wancheng at this moment, tall and big, like an iron tower. The face is angular and angular, and the tiger whiskers need to be under the chin, which is very powerful.

But one room stumped the hero! No matter how majestic the father and son of the Lin family are, no matter how capable they are, they can't solve the problem of not having a house.

In fact, the father and son of the two of them worked very hard for the problem of the house. When Lin Wancheng, the head of the old Lin sect, was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion thirty years ago, he began to save money to buy a house.

But the salary of the forbidden army is not high - in fact, it is really not low, but it is more expensive if you can't afford it - Lin Wancheng has a wife, children and mother to support, and saving thirty or forty yuan a year is the limit, and when Lin Chong grows up and finds the position of head of the sect, the father and son work together, and they also take on a lot of private work, and they can save more than 100 yuan a year.

In the past 30 years, father and son have saved a full 2,000 hundreds!

Thirty years ago, this money could have bought a house in the north of the city. But the house in Kaifeng Mansion has been appreciating!

Thirty years ago, the property that could be bought by 2,000 yuan will now cost at least 7,000.

In other words, the father and son have struggled for 30 years, and they are not getting closer to the small goal of buying a house, but getting farther and farther away......

And Lin Chong, who can't afford to buy a house, will find it difficult to marry the legendary Zhang Niang who can charm Gao Yanei.

Sometimes, the tragedy in reality is really more sad than the novel......
