Chapter 176: Precious
The Eighth Prince can see that Zheng Guogong is very familiar with the people here along the way, and the people here also trust Zheng Guogong very much.
Zheng Guogong looked at everyone's expressions like swallowing medicine, and said with a smile: "This is coffee, people here drink more of this, it's good to get used to it!" After speaking, he took a big sip of coffee, not to mention the taste, just this warmth, it is very comfortable, but these pampered sons, where can they stand this, Hua Yuelou looked at Zheng Guogong, Wang Xi and Tan Yu who were strolling and drinking coffee, the corners of their mouths were upturned, only those who have suffered know that at the moment of extreme hunger and cold, it is so precious to have such a cup of warm liquid!
Everyone drank or smelled the coffee, Zheng Guogong slowly got up and gave the boss a certain gold ingot, and the Nine Emperors raised their eyebrows, knowing that even if there was no coffee, it was enough to carry water in the desert at this price!
The boss of the tea house shirked not to collect money, looked at Zheng Guogong and said seriously: "Zheng Ye is a good person, I am an old man, and I have no other skills, just such a child, if you don't dislike it, take it away, be a little guy or something, don't hide it from Zheng Ye, I'm just waiting for you these days, I have tuberculosis, there are not many days, I have waited for you, Erzhu, come and meet Zheng Ye!" ”
A young man less than a meter, with a dark body and a short beat, walked over, but with tears in his eyes, looked at the old man, and shouted softly: "Dad." Always let your son give you one last ride! ”
The boss of the tea house touched the child's head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, this road, there is no turning back, Zheng Ye is going to the East Wharf to leave, go, listen to Zheng Ye's words, burn a few strings of banknotes to my father on July 15 every year, even if it is the fate of our grandfather!" ”
The young man's eyes were red from crying, and Zheng Guogong looked at the old man. Exhale a breath of turbidity. said softly: "I will train this child to become a talent, if there is any need, go to the soup mansion and report my name." They'll help you out! ”
The old man knelt down crampedly and kowtowed to Zheng Guogong three times. sent away Zheng Guogong and his party and his son!
Tan Yu looked at the young man beside him who turned back three times in one step. Whispered: "Come up and I'll take you for a ride!" ”
The young man shook his head stubbornly and said softly: "I have been carrying water in the desert since I was a child, relying on a pair of feet. Let's ride it yourself! Tan Yu's face was red when he was said, the corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said softly: "Don't look at him as a child, his legs and feet are very strong, and he carries water into the desert every day, which is not something that ordinary people can do, he is a person with great perseverance, let's go!" ”
Tan Yu bowed his head slightly, not angry, knowing that what Zheng Guogong said was the truth, it is indeed a person outside the world, there are mountains outside the mountain, walking on the rivers and lakes, he has also met some people who look inconspicuous, but have unique skills!
The group entered the hinterland of the desert, the scorching sun was over, everyone was a little unbearable, the Nine Emperor Princes shouted thirsty, Tan Yu shook his head, followed Zheng Guogong and didn't say much, the Jade Lord was tired and hot, and he didn't drink water just now, so he couldn't stand it at this time, so he simply stopped, and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to go, you guys are leaving!" After saying that, he lost his camel and lay down on the sand, but he didn't expect the sand to be so hot, so he hurriedly got up and looked at the young man walking barefoot on the sand, looking like a monster!
Zheng Guogong sighed in his heart, looked back at the Jade Prince, and didn't bother to speak, so he threw the water bladder given by the old man in the tea liao to the Jade Prince, and the Jade Prince's coo dong poured it up!
The young man looked at it and shook his head, the Jade Lord drank it, and gave it to the Nine Emperors to drink, the two of them were good, and they didn't care about others, and drank not a drop of water in the water bladder!
The eighth prince licked his chapped lips and didn't say anything!
Zheng Guogong walked in the front, and he only hoped to get to the place earlier!
Everyone walked all day, all wilted, watching the sunset, but they were not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Zheng Guogong looked at the burning clouds in the sky, the corners of his mouth curled, such a beautiful scenery, I don't know when I can meet next time, the young man doesn't know when he came to Zheng Guogong's side, and said softly: "Master Zheng, there is a pair of people and horses coming in front, the horses' hooves are wrapped in cloth, it looks like they are familiar with the desert, there are a total of twelve people!" ”
Zheng Guogong bowed his head slightly, but Tan Yu was impressed by the young man, and he also knew that there were people on the other side, but with his ear power, he couldn't tell how many people there were in the end, but the young man could clearly tell the number of people, and the mount, that was the real ability, Tan Yu couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked softly: "How do you know that there are twelve people?" ”
The young man raised his face, under the refraction of the sun, his little face was glowing, and he said confidently and subtly: "My feet can feel the vibration of the sand, and after a long time, I will know how many people are coming!" ”
Tan Yu was relieved, but he was more curious about the teenager!
Zheng Guogong looked at the black spots in the desert, the corners of his mouth curled, and said softly: "Wait and be careful!" Tan Yu gathered his mind and followed closely by Zheng Guogong's side! The Eighth Prince and the others wondered who would ride a horse in the desert!
As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was the God of Wealth!
The horse team gradually got closer, Zheng Guogong simply stopped, looked at the black horse in front of him and the big man on horseback, and gradually smiled!
The big man who was facing him was also in a very good mood, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was good!
"Zheng, you are here, let's go, let's go eat barbecue, I have two lambs prepared, and we will drink freely in the evening!" When they got closer, everyone could see that the big man who was talking to Zheng Guogong should not be a Han person, but he had a good relationship with Zheng Guogong!
Zheng Guogong led everyone, followed the horse team, and came to a yurt-like place, surrounded by a dripping oasis, the eighth prince was a little confused, it is said that he had walked so far, he thought that Zheng Guogong took everyone to hunt for treasures, but he didn't expect it to be just to see friends and eat barbecue! Just when everyone was slandering Zheng Guogong in their hearts about what medicine was sold in the gourd, the smell of barbecue wafted in outside!
The Nine Emperors were the first to stand up and walked out, and the Seventh Prince also followed, and the Jade Prince, who had been complaining, did not move at the moment, and inadvertently listened to Zheng Guogong chatting with each other. With the Jade Prince's understanding of Zheng Guogong, I'm afraid that Zheng Guogong didn't come here to eat barbecue, there must be a highlight!
The Eighth Prince also got up and walked out, and only Zheng Guogong and the big man in front of him were left in the house, as well as Tan Yu and the Jade Prince!
The big man glanced at the two people in the room, and asked with a smile, "Are you friends?" ”
The corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said softly: "Yu, you go out to eat meat, I have something to talk to Hao!" ”
The Jade Lord looked at Zheng Guogong dumbfounded, he never thought of it. One day, Zheng Guogong would speak to himself in such a tone. The Jade Lord got up and threw his sleeves and left! Tan Yu was about to leave, but Zheng Guogong said softly: "Let's stay and listen together!" "Tan Yu gathered his mind and stood behind Zheng Guogong!
Mr. Hao glanced at Tan Yu and said to Zheng Guogong with a smile: "You brought a lot of people with you this time. Press the letter you came from before. I got everything ready. These are samples, you see, if you can. Just let them load the ship! After speaking, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, looked not light, and put it in front of Zheng Guogong, Zheng Guogong gently opened the bag, Tan Yu was dumbfounded when he saw that the whole person was stunned, the best emerald gem, the size of a fist, exuding a round luster Nanzhu, all of them are the size of pigeon eggs, and pink coral, which is bigger than the emerald gem! Tan Yu was shocked in his heart, he didn't understand where the other party got so many treasures, if these were just samples, did it mean that the other party could provide a boat of such things!
Tan Yu was stunned and hurriedly went to see Zheng Guogong's expression! Zheng Guogong smiled, and couldn't see how excited he was, and said softly: "I'm bothering you, help me prepare another boat, just in case, everything is loaded on your boat, the boat I brought, you can fill it with some sand!" ”
Tan Yu was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zheng Guogong to arrange such a confidential matter, and he didn't carry it behind his back, and then looked at the other party's cautious expression, Tan Yu was a little depressed that he stayed!
Zheng Guogong took out a box from his arms, handed it to Mr. Hao, and said softly: "Here are 500,000 taels, when the ship arrives at Tongzhou Wharf, someone will pay you the other half, by the way, this is the last time I will go by sea, if I want to go in the future, I will let my brother connect with you, except for Tan Yu, there will be no second person to represent me, you remember!" ”
Mr. Hao nodded cautiously, looked at Zheng Guogong and asked hesitantly, "You really don't come, I still want to ride a horse with you!" ”
Zheng Guogong looked at the outside of the tent and said softly: "The tree is a big wind, it's time to stop, if you go to Yanjing, go directly to find me, go, drink!" Zheng Guogong took the lead in getting up, and Dahan followed closely!
Tan Yu walked at the end, but his heart was turbulent, Zheng Guogong didn't ask himself, he handed everything over to himself, does this mean that the other party trusts him very much, thinking about his worship of Zheng Guogong, Tan Yu has a decision in his heart!
When everyone saw Zheng Guogong coming over, the Nine Emperors hurriedly shouted: "Come and taste it, this whole day's hard work is worth it, such mutton, don't talk about me, even my father has never tasted it!" After the Nine Emperor Princes finished speaking, they felt that they were really big-mouthed, and they hurriedly took a bite of the meat to avoid embarrassment!
The Eighth Prince looked at Zheng Guogong beside him, and stopped talking several times, but finally Zheng Guogong looked back at the Eighth Prince and said with a smile: "It's all arranged, let's eat meat and drink wine tonight, and we can return tomorrow, it's only two hours away from the dock!" ”
The Eighth Prince bowed his head and raised his glass to Zheng Guogong!
The wine glass is a crystal cup, which contains red wine, no matter what the taste is, such a crystal wine utensils have already drunk everyone, the barbecue on the charcoal fire, emitting a squeaky meat aroma, Zheng Guogong pulled a roast leg of lamb, handed it to the little boy next to him, and said softly: "Back to Yanjing, I will send you to study, and you will wear shoes in the future!" After that, I drank red wine alone!
The boy suppressed the urge to cry, looked at the bright moonlight, swallowed tears and barbecued meat! He had long known that his father would let him follow Zheng Guogong, but he didn't expect to leave his father at this time and return to the place where he was born!
The young man drank two glasses of wine with sorrow and strong nostalgia, and everyone ate happily, the guards brought by Mr. Hao had already begun to jump, and the corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth turned up! I sang along!
Tan Yu, who has always been unsavory, looked at the somewhat strange man in front of him, which one is Zheng Guogong, or is it that he is calm and introverted, and Zheng Guogong who looks very happy!
Knowing that it is this man, at different times, he has shown different himself, or scheming, or high-spirited, or laughing, or chivalrous tenderness, such a master is worth following, worthy of being accompanied for a lifetime, such a friend, worthy of treating each other, worthy of entrusting life and death!
Just when Tan Yu sighed, everyone drank very happily, and the Nine Emperor Princes fell to the ground, looking at the starry sky, thinking of their relatives in their hometown!
The Eighth Prince's eyes were red from drinking, looking at Zheng Guogong with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then looking up at the sky, the stars were twinkling, but he said in his heart: Father, some people are the pride of the sky, even if you want to take it back, how can you take it back if you take it back by sea, if you sit in that position, how will you choose, continue to use such a powerful minister, or guard your self-esteem, suppress it, the Eighth Prince has no answer for a while, looking at the stars in a daze!
The twinkling stars, as if they were joking with him, were blinking their eyes, twinkling and flashing, and the corners of the Eighth Prince's mouth flashed with a wry smile!
This night, everyone took their own thoughts and rested in the tent, and at dawn, Mr. Hao took his horse team and left! Zheng Guogong got up and prepared a simple milk tea, ready to wait for everyone to drink!
Tan Yu stood behind Zheng Guogong and said softly, "You haven't slept all night? ”
The corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said softly: "You didn't sleep either, this road looks like gold, I don't want to die young, they are all business people, I can't believe people who can only see benefits in their eyes, come and have a drink!" Tan Yu gathered his mind, slowly stepped forward, and said softly: "I have decided to stay by your side!" ”
Zheng Guogong nodded and said softly: "That's not necessary, I'm also just in case, you still go back to the house, what's the matter, I'll ask someone to send you a letter, don't be careless, the journey back is not easy, when you come, it's an empty boat, go back with Jinshan and Yinhai, I'm afraid someone will be greedy!" Drink it, drink it well this morning! After speaking, he handed a cup to Tan Yu, and he also took a cup and drank it!
The first to get up was the Eighth Prince, the corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth were upturned, it was not surprising, people who did big things were very persevering, and the last to get up was Huayuelou, looking at the appearance of Huayuelou, Zheng Guogong couldn't help laughing, if anyone in this world is the most enjoyable, he believes that Huayuelou dares to admit the first, and no one dares to recognize the second!
It's just that Zheng Guogong didn't know that Hua Yuelou's body was very uncomfortable at the moment, and it was not as chic as it looked on the surface! (To be continued......)
PS: (Today's update, you'll see you tomorrow, there are a lot of things these days, I can only guarantee a change, after it stabilizes, it will be added!) I experienced more than 40 calls and power outages in an hour, I was also drunk, I don't know if it was a short circuit, the gate at home did not jump, and the electricity meter was also checked, but there was no electricity for a while, and there was electricity for a while, so I squatted on the ground and counted silently, and called at 20 minutes...... )
