Chapter 13 Self-heating chimney pot
Who originally owned the chess hall? Naturally, it is the industry of the eldest grandson Wuji, and this thing can be regarded as a daily income in Chang'an City, but compared with befriending Chen Chu, the eldest grandson Wuji is not distressed.
All the maids in the chess hall are naturally his, of course, the eldest grandson Wuji has already ordered these people to only listen to Chen Chu in the future, and it has nothing to do with his eldest grandson Wuji, and he doesn't want to leave his ears and eyes to spy on Chen Chu.
He thought this young man was quite interesting, and it was also interesting to pretend to be an ordinary person and chat with His Majesty.
He believed that what Chen Chu was willing to take out would definitely let them know, and if he didn't want to take it out, he didn't need to investigate, in case Chen Chu found out, it would be bad.
"Master, slave Yuzhu, please send us at will."
A maid leader in a green dress saw that Chen Hao seemed to be in trouble, and hurriedly saluted and spoke.
Chen Chu was worried that no one would help him move, so he was relieved, and he didn't bother to care about what was wrong with this chess hall, so he ordered the maids to leave, first to decorate his new home not far from him, and then take him to familiarize himself with the inside and outside of this chess hall.
Until dusk, Chen Chu, who was tired like a dog, came back, he bought a lot of things today, and the money given by Lao Sun was spent.
The dusty old Li Laosun also came, and he also looked tired, and no one dared to stop them after they came to the chess hall, and they came all the way to Chen Chu's main hall.
"Chen Chu, are you still satisfied with this chess hall?"
The eldest grandson Wuji asked proudly, this is one of the few high-end industries he has in Chang'an City, it is no exaggeration to say that even if Chen Chu doesn't do anything every day, it is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
"Satisfaction is satisfaction, that is, I feel that the government has a sick brain, sealed my tavern, and compensated me for such a good place."
Chen Chu said that before the eldest grandson Wuji was worried that he would see some flaws and wanted to explain, the words were changed: "But if you come, you will be safe, regardless of his three seven twenty-one, I will definitely carry forward the chess hall!" ”
Looking at Chen Chu's heartless appearance, Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji were speechless for a while, yes, it seems that the prepared explanations are useless.
Li Er said: "Chen Chu, have you heard, those officials in Sinong Temple were severely taught by the emperor today, that Wang Yanyu was dismissed and driven back to his hometown, and many officials were also swept away. ”
Chen Chu's eyes widened, he was overjoyed.
"Really? Lao Li, Lao Sun, I'm so moved, or you are considerate of me! This must be that you know about the unequal treatment I suffered in Sinong Temple, and it is right to report it? ”
Li Er smiled and nodded, although the actual situation was not the same as Chen Chu thought, but it was almost the same in essence, and Chen Chu did not thank the wrong person.
"I'm so moved, seeing that you two are hungry and haven't eaten at night, right? Don't say anything, come with me, I'll take you to eat something delicious tonight, I promise you're satisfied! ”
Chen Chu slapped Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji on the shoulder, and then went to get busy.
Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji were secretly happy in their hearts, what did they do when they came to Chen Chu? Isn't it just here to eat, of course, Li Er also plans to ask him about his opinion on the drought by the way.
I saw Chen Chu bring a chimney-like copper pot with water poured into it, and then he hurriedly walked out, as if he was going to get something.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked wrong, Chen Chu seemed to be walking a little far away, what was this going on, and hurriedly called out to him: "Where are you going?" ”
"Grab some ingredients, or we'll eat something." Chen Chu said as a matter of course.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't cry or laugh: "Yuzhu, you girl is not small, this kind of thing is watching the master busy?" ”
Yuzhu, who couldn't help next to him, looked panicked, and he was helpless in his heart, not that the slave and maid had a big shelf, and we really didn't know what he was going to do.
She hurriedly asked Chen Chu what ingredients he needed, and Chen Chu said, "Cabbage, greens, bamboo shoots, tofu, mushrooms, and cucumbers should also bring some." ”
He thought about it and confirmed that these things were basically available in Datang, so he nodded and confirmed, Yuzhu didn't dare to ask how much each vegetable needed, anyway, just take more.
Hurry away, for fear that you will forget something on the way.
"Old Sun, how do you feel that you know Yuzhu, she also looks at you from time to time, you don't have any improper relationship, right?" Chen Chuhu asked suspiciously.
The eldest grandson Wuji was depressed for a while, and quickly explained: "Because I have also come here to play chess before, so I know this Yuzhu, but don't think about it, Yuzhu has been trained by the family since childhood, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his ability to do things is also very strong, and he has never been touched by a man, so you can rest assured." ”
Chen Chu's old face flushed: "Old Sun, look at where you have gone, don't talk about this, let's talk about something else before the ingredients are brought." ”
Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji really couldn't guess what kind of meal Chen Chu was going to prepare, and he hadn't lit a fire so far, so he was really curious.
However, seeing him change the topic, Li Er naturally mentioned the drought in Guanzhong.
"Drought ...... It's not easy to solve. Chen Chu groaned, modern transportation and communication conditions are far from being comparable to Datang.
With the current manpower and material resources, in the face of such a natural disaster, there is almost no way to resist, and the people at the bottom are very pitiful.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Who says it's not, this thief God, I don't know when I will be able to return the Tang Dynasty to a smooth weather, the Guanlong area is the foundation of our Datang, close to Chang'an, if we can't even do anything about the disaster there, if it is like last year, there is a disaster in Hebei and Shandong, then what should we do?" ”
Li Er also said faintly: "Is it really a punishment from heaven to show dissatisfaction with the current emperor's injustice?" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji's heart tightened when he heard this, this topic has always been a hurdle that His Majesty can't get over.
In private, he has revealed more than once that he is worried about the follow-up impact of that incident, and now the Tang Dynasty is constantly plagued, with the Tibetan Turks eyeing the outside, and the threat of the hidden prince inside, the opposition voices in the world are endless, and the flood disaster has not stopped.
said that it was the punishment of God to the Tang Dynasty, and under the turmoil of people's hearts, the impact on His Majesty was indeed not small.
"Nonsense." Chen Chu slapped the table, and was really speechless about this idea of feudal superstition.
"Lao Li, Lao Sun, I always thought that you two were cultural people, but I didn't expect your thinking to be so conservative and old-fashioned, I wondered, in your eyes, what kind of existence is God?"
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't say it for a while, Li Er said hesitantly: "God is high, difficult to guess, indescribable, boundless, endless, a thought of the wind and clouds, a thought of the sea cold, where can we ordinary people imagine." ”
Although the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, Li Er knows in his heart that he is a fart compared to God.
To put it bluntly, he is a human being, and human beings can be compared with the sky? People are not happy about the rain, the whole Chang'an is waterlogged, not happy to thunder, can the hall collapse at once, people can do it?
