"Okay, it's one hundred and twenty a month, and you can't set up any more names and money."

Guo Jing was actually reluctant in his heart, the monthly money he offered for one hundred taels was really not low, even if he bit it to death and gave nothing, Lin Wancheng would also allow it. But Wu Haogu, who didn't want the money to come too easily, didn't count the small account at all, and directly added 20% of the price.

However, Wu Hao Gudu agreed, and he couldn't object, so he had to bite one hundred and twenty to death.

"Okay, okay, it's one hundred and twenty." Lin Wancheng couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Their father and son have an income of 240 taels a month, and they can also receive a small half of the military salaries issued by the official family (the remaining half is used to take a long vacation), and there are also about 100 taels of income per month. In this way, it will be 250 yuan a month. If they had walked this way for six months, father and son would have been able to save 1,500!

It's a big step away from the small goal of buying a house!

If there are a few months of bodyguards every year, Lin Chong is still very hopeful to become a housekeeper before the age of forty, and then get a little lady in Kaifeng......

"Then Lin Dalang is going?" Wu Haogu looked at Lin Chong who was frowning, he was willing to pay a high price of one hundred and twenty yuan mainly because of Lin Chong, so he naturally wanted to confirm it.

"Go! Go by all means! Lin Wancheng said categorically.

"Go, I'll go!" Lin Chong sighed and nodded.

In fact, he also knew that he would not go, and he would not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to become an official.

Not to mention that the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion is not on the battlefield at all, it is also an opportunity for the Western Thief Iron Harrier to make meritorious contributions!

Because now in the entire Fourth Army, there are definitely not a hundred heroes who can fight and rush like Lin Chong and Lu Qian.

Moreover, these 100 heroes are useless in the battle formation, because the iron cavalry does not rely only on people, but also has good horses and armor.

Now where in the Fourth Army is there a good horse that can withstand the armor and cavalry? Not only are there no good horses, but there are also no good armor (human armor) and equipment (horse armor), only some thin-skinned light armor that fools people, or simply paper armor......

Put on paper armor, ride a horse and fart? Isn't this a gift to the iron harrier of the Western Thief?

"That's right!" Guo Jing laughed, "With Lin Dalang's ability, he shouldn't have hung on the tree of the forbidden army a long time ago. By the way, Lu Xiaoyi has no problem over there, right? He was known for his dedication. ”

"Then the red guy dares not to go?" Mrs. Gao patted her chest and said, "If he doesn't go, the old lady will bring a bow and arrows and go by herself!" ”

"What a spicy lady!"

As soon as Mrs. Gao's words fell, she heard someone laughing outside the door.

Immediately after, I saw a big monk and Gao Yu come in together, and the big monk was the Zhishen monk from Wutai Mountain that Wu Hao saw in Wang Yuma's mansion a few days ago.

Lin Wancheng, Gao Niangzi and Lin Chong hurriedly stood up.

"Brother Gao, why are you here? This eminent monk is ......"

"Ah, aren't you Brother Lu? How did you become a monk? ”

Monk Zhishen is really surnamed Lu, it is Lu Zhishen!

He, like Lin Chong and Guo Jing, is the second generation who "drifted" from the Western Army to Kaifeng Mansion. However, he didn't have a taste for himself in the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion, thinking that there were many wars in the northwest, and there was always a chance to be promoted through meritorious service. But I didn't expect that when I returned to Kaifeng, I would be a great monk.

Is it because he couldn't be an official in the Western Army, and finally became discouraged and saw through the red dust?

Seeing that Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Gao Niangzi and others were surprised, Lu Zhishen folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, then laughed and said: "I thought I could be happy in the Western Army, but who knew that I was also depressed in Weizhou, and I committed an accident three years ago, so I went all the way to Wutai Mountain, and found the Zhizhen monk I met in Weizhou and shaved my head to become a monk." ”

Hearing Lu Zhishen say this, Lin Wancheng sighed: "Why is there no way to go?" If you stay in Kaifeng Mansion, you can't even afford a place to stay, and when you go to the Western Army, you can't even ......"

"It's not that there is no way out," Gao Yu said happily, "Brother Lu is now an official and has made a fortune." ”

"What?" Lin Wancheng was stunned, "Being a monk can also be promoted and make a fortune?" ”

Lu Zhishen laughed: "Senior Brother Zhizhen can afford the Sprinkle family, and asked the Sprinkle family to escort the first abstinent monk of the Zhenrong Academy to Haizhou." I don't want the old monk to be a terrible person, when he arrives in Kaifeng Mansion, he is a guest of a wealthy family, and even the Sprinkle family is also stained, there are high-rollers every day, and the shots are hundreds, and tens of thousands of them are collected in a few days, and they can buy a house in Kaifeng Mansion.

Today, I went to the palace with the old monk to meet the official's family, and I also got a monk who was sentenced by the monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple, which can be regarded as a promotion and a fortune! ”

"The monk of Daxiangguo Temple......" Lin Wancheng took a breath, and his old face was full of envy.

Daxiangguo Temple is famously rich, and it is difficult to be an ordinary monk there, Lu Zhishen is now a monk in one step, but he is really prosperous.

Lu Zhishen also sighed: "Now in this world, the martial arts are the lowest, and the Sprinkle family is a monk, if he has children and grandchildren, he will not be asked to join the army as a red man." ”

"What do you mean?" Gao Yu looked at the atmosphere in the room a little sluggish, "Today is a good day for Brother Lu to be an official, and I have already ordered food in the upper temple."

Wu Dalang is also here, why don't you come together, my brother has something to tell you. ”

"Okay, let's go together." Wu Haogu thought to himself, most likely Gao Yu climbed the high branch of Duan King Zhao Ji.

……

The upper temple is located in the north chamber of Kaifeng City, close to the city wall of Kaifeng Inner City, the scale of the temple is not large, the repair is not luxurious, and even a little bit of dilapidation, but the incense is at its peak, today is the day of the incense, the temple mountain gate is wide open, the pilgrims pour in and out, as if the tide is in general.

However, looking at the dress of the pilgrims who entered and exited the mountain gate, they were not very wealthy, and it is estimated that the incense money in this temple could not be collected.

The presiding officer of the upper temple is an old fat monk, who turned out to be the "old forbidden army" of Kaifeng Mansion, and he knew Gao Yu, Lin Wancheng and Lu Zhishen. As soon as he saw Lu Zhishen, he said hello to him, and personally welcomed the group into a small dining hall for pilgrims.

It is said to be a "restaurant", but in fact, it is a restaurant that specializes in fast food, and it also has private seats. However, the business seems to be a little light, and it is not as good as the roast pig courtyard of Daxiangguo Temple.

"Brother Gao, what do you want to tell me?"

Before the food came up, Wu Haogu chatted with Gao Yu who was sitting beside him.

Gao Yu smiled: "It's someone who wants to learn painting with you." ”

"Learn to draw?" Wu Haogu was slightly disappointed, "Who?" ”

"A relative of Wang Yuma," Gao Yu said, "he has some talent in painting, and he knows that you are good at painting portraits, so he wants to learn from you." His family is rich, and this bundle of grace is rich, and this favor is not small. ”

Wu Haogu doesn't care, but Wang Yuma's relatives are definitely not ordinary people...... Today's official family is also his relative! Therefore, this favor is definitely not small, and Wu Haogu will naturally not refuse.

"Okay," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I'm going to leave for Haizhou in the near future, and when I return to Kaifeng Mansion, I'll take him as an apprentice."

By the way, I also have "Twenty-four Methods of Boundary Painting Towers" and "Twenty-four Methods of Human Body Portraits", which will be sent to Wang Fuma's Mansion tomorrow. ”

"Twenty-four Methods of Human Body Portraits" is a picture of Wu Haogu's foolish things in the past few days, drawing twenty-four white drawings of the human body (all wearing clothes), hands, feet, facial features and other parts.

"Don't bother," Gao Yu said with a smile, "I'll pick it up tomorrow." ”

While he was talking, suddenly someone outside the door said, "Brother Lu can be here?" ”

Lin Wancheng, who was sitting at the same table with Wu Haogu and others, hurriedly said, "Is it Lu Xiaoyi?" ”

"It's Xiao Yi."

Then I saw a white-faced man wearing a purple narrow shirt with a missing crotch and a tall lady walking in one after the other.

Guo Jing said to Wu Haogu: "Da Lang, he is Lu Qian." Then he beckoned again, "Brother Xiaoyi, hurry up and come over to meet the martial officials." ”
