Gao Chong and others urged the horse to come to Beihemen in the north, and lined up here to prepare to enter the city. The soldiers guarding the city stared at the people entering and leaving the city, and did not conduct too much investigation except for tax collection.

Gao Wei glanced around and sighed: "There are so many people here, and the city wall is much taller than our Zhending Mansion. It is really unimaginable to build such a strong city."

Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "This is the largest city in the north. The population is nearly one million, which is most times more than that of a mansion in other places. Of course, the weather is different. However, if you want to break such a city, it is impossible without hundreds of thousands of troops."

Gao Chong smiled slightly and said, "What is really strong is not how high the city wall is or how thick the city gate is. It is the heart of the people! If someone wants to defend it, such a strong city will not be able to be defeated in a year and a half, but if someone doesn't want to defend it, it is just a pile of broken bricks and tiles, and even if you give it to more than 100,000 troops, do you think Liang Zhongshu is a person who can be entrusted?"

Liu Ziyi thought about it, shook his head slightly, and smiled bitterly and speechlessly.

"What are you doing? Are you still entering the city? 6 people, 7 horses, and a car pays 2 guan taxes!"

Gao Wei's eyes stood up, and the person in front of him was only ten cents, and he turned up ten times as much as he could. How did he accept this?

Gao Chong reached out to stop Gao Wei who was about to get angry; he took out a ingot of broken silver and threw it over. The ingot of broken silver was about 5 taels, about 2 guan; the soldiers guarding the city quickly put it away and put it in.

"It turned out to be two suckers. I would have said 10 guan if I had known it." The two soldiers whispered, regretting the kindness just now.

Gao Chong looked at them with a sneer, then urged the horses to enter Daming Mansion. Now the sky was gradually getting darker, so Gao Chong did not go to his grandfather's house immediately, but found an inn at the north gate of the outer city to settle down.

They packed a separate courtyard, then asked the store to fetch hot water, wash the dust, and then ordered them to present anything they could eat.

Those who open a store are not afraid of big-bellied men. When they encounter such a wealthy customer, they are really undesirable. The delicacies and buns and noodles are served in one go.

Several people have been hungry for a day, especially Gao Hu, who had already been close to his back. He opened his mouth wide and fell into it, so that the speed of the guys serving food could not keep up with their meals.

The guys kept glanced at these people with their eyes, thinking that they were reincarnated as starving ghosts; even outside their yard, there were many people watching the fun. These people pointed and inquire about the situation inside from time to time.

"Little brother, are these people or ghosts? They can't be monsters, are they? Otherwise, how could they have such a good appetite?"

"Ke, we open a store, even if we have big belly guys? The more they eat, the more we earn, right? Please give in, how can we urge you?"

"Be careful that they don't pay for food, but you'll cry."

"Mr. Ke, I'm thinking too much. I just don't have money. Look at these horses? That's not worth a hundred taels? It's enough to leave one casually. Have you ever seen people riding a carriage without money? Are the men in our Daming Mansion or donkey carts and mule carts?"

This person turned red when he heard this, yes! Why is he confused? It’s better to be clear about a bartender when he sees things clearly.

Not to mention that he was complaining about himself here, the bartender brought a large plate of steamed buns and beef and ran in. Gao Chong and others were already full, so they were here happily watching Gao Hu eat Haisai.

The bartender put down the thing and was about to turn around and go out. Gao Chong raised his hand and called him, "Little Brother, wait a moment. I'll ask you if there is a Daguan Li in Zhuangyuan Lane? Do you know where to go?"

"Oh! Not to mention anything else, Li Daguanren is a celebrity in our Daming Mansion and the only top scholar on the past few decades on Hebei Road. How could I not know? If you go to Zhuangyuan Lane, continue to walk along Daming Mansion Street from here, and turn right to Jingwu Gate, the inner city will be there. There is a very famous place, and you will know it when you ask."

"It's so good. Brother Xiao, go and do it! I'll greet you later if you have something to do."

"You are so polite. If you have any questions, please give me some instructions." The bartender agreed respectfully and then retreated.

Gao Chong and the others rested in the inn for a night, and felt refreshed the next day; then they went to the street, chose the best four-color ceremony, and then headed straight to Jingwumen.

When I got here, I asked about Li Daguanren, Zhuangyuan Lane. As expected, everyone was very familiar with him and pointed out the specific location for them.

Gao Chong clasped his fists at everyone, then urged his horse to turn into Zhuangyuan Lane. There were not many residents here, and the Li family's home was the largest.

Although Daming Mansion is not as valuable as Kaifeng Mansion, the land is also very expensive. Although the Li family is a famous family, they only live in a courtyard of 2 acres.

In the morning, the Li family's courtyard gate was closed. They were about to come forward to call the door when they heard a chaotic noise inside and a faint sound of sobs.

"What's this? Is something wrong at home?" Gao Chong was slightly stunned. He asked Liu Ziyi and others to wait below, and went forward to pull the door knocker.

"Who?" The corner door next to it opened and an elderly servant emerged from the doorman.

The servant looked at Gao Chong for a lot of time, obviously not knowing him, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Who are you? Today, the master has something to do, so it is not convenient to meet guests. Come again in a while!"

As he said that, he reached out and wanted to close the door. Gao Chong pressed lightly and blocked the gate of the courtyard and said, "Dad (a neutral name for the elderly in the Song Dynasty) and wait! I am not an outsider either. My name is Gao Chong, and I come from the Kaiping Palace of Gaojia Town, Zhending Prefecture, and my mother is also a member of the Li family."

"Oh! It turns out that it is the young master of the little lady's family! I offended so much! Don't blame me, I kowtowed you."

Gao Chong pulled him up and said, "Dad is not polite. What's wrong with my grandfather's house? It's also the door of the mansion is closed in broad daylight?"

"Oh! It's hard to say anything! Something happened to our family! Is it that Shaojun is waiting? I'll inform the master to know!" The old slave quickly opened the door and asked them to wait here for a while, and then hurried into the yard.

Not long after, I heard a chaotic chaos inside, and then a group of people ran out rumbling. The lead was an old man, and there were many men and women next to him.

Before Gao Chong remembered, Li Bu had already left Zhending. This was the first time he saw his grandfather and grandmother's family. Seeing this group of people, he didn't know how to meet him for a while.

The two old men in the lead also stared at him blankly; they said with tears in their eyes: "Look, look, this appearance is really a bit of a witty shadow."

Gao Chong complained in his heart that his mother is also a peerless beauty. Although he is not ugly, he can't contact her, right?

He immediately knew the identities of the two people when he heard this. He knelt down and said, "Grandpa, hello grandma! Gao Chong meets grandpa, grandma." He said that, and kowtowed three times.

"Get up, get up! Get up quickly!" The two old men came to support Gao Chong, but how could their strength be moved?

Gao Chong laughed and said, "Grandpa, grandma, when I came, my mother kept telling me to kowtow three times to the second elder on her behalf. Please come on your behalf, and I kowtow to you on behalf of my mother!" After that, he kowtowed three times again.

"This child is all a family, why is the courtesy so long?" The old lady then pulled Gao Chong up, looked up, the next, the left, and the right, and the large number of them could not be stopped.

"Looking at a big man and looking at his figure, he looks like a strong and good kid."

"This woman is talking nonsense again." Li Bu stroked his white beard and said to Gao Chong: "Boy, this is your uncle Li Wen and your aunt; this is your second uncle Li Liang and your second aunt, this is your uncle Li Shu and your aunt."

Gao Chong hurried forward to pay homage: "I have met my uncle, my grandmaid; my second uncle, my second uncle, my grandmaid, my grandmaid." Several people also reached out to support me, but Gao Chong found that my uncle and my grandma seemed to be smiling with a bit sad.

It was hard to ask questions at this time, so Gao Chong introduced Liu Ziyi and others to everyone. However, Li Bu knew Liu Fu. He heard that this was Liu Fu's third son, so he hurriedly stepped forward to ask and asked him to greet Liu Fu on his behalf.

After some greetings, Li Bu let them in the living room. After everyone sat down, servants came up to offer tea.

"Gao Chong, I heard your mother say that you made this poem?" Li Bu raised his hand and pointed to a poem on the wall. It was the plum blossom poem he gave to his mother.

"My grandfather laughed. I also told my mother about her diligent writing practice when she was young. She felt something, so she wrote this poem."

"Well, your mother is free and intelligent, and willing to work hard, but she is the most promising of my four children. Unfortunately, she is a daughter, otherwise she would have been able to inherit my legacy.

You are so good at such a young age, and I have read the poems you wrote at the Double Ninth Festival. They are much better than me back then. I hope you will study hard and never let down your ability."

Gao Chong was a little worried and had to nod his head and say yes.

"Why are you this time? Why did you suddenly run to Daming Mansion? Where is your mother? I don't know if I say it in advance."

"What does it mean to cheat my son? That's it! I probably said a big talk in front of my grandfather, but this time I asked me to fill the pit." Gao Chong secretly complained.

"I went to Beijing to take the exam." Gao Chong said with a tough bullet.

"Take the exam? You are already a juren? Why haven't I heard your mother say it!"

"It's been two years, but it's a martial artist."
