The Zheng family's family banquet can be said to be quite rich from Liang Chuan's point of view, and it is no wonder that the people hate the most sentence, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. The Zheng family still thinks that there is no food to eat, and the tenant farmers outside the high walls are still worried about tomorrow's meal.

This is a picture of different times in the same era, in the same environment.

After Liang Chuan came to this world, he went to Zheng Zuliang's mansion in Xinghua, Zheng Yiqian's mansion in Fengshan, and lived in a thatched house in the countryside. He has tasted the taste of millet gruel, and he has also tasted the sweetness of crystal shrimp.

Most people in this era may not have the opportunity to taste the delicious taste of tabby shrimp after struggling all their lives, not because they don't work hard, but because the opportunities given to them in this era are too unequal.

Liang Chuan sometimes thinks that when he comes to this world, he is eager to see this person who has never seen the world, and there are too many fetters around him, how reluctant people are, they have also not really seen this world, they just try to live, just want to survive, and have not thought about what life is.

Today, I am a guest at someone's seat, and I eat and drink spicy food, which has no taste. He seemed to feel that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he wanted to carry these people and live a good life together.

Zheng Zuliang couldn't sit still when he heard the word cane sugar during the banquet, and he vaguely felt that this matter must not be simple, but he didn't say it directly in front of so many people.

He has another thing, it will be the Shangyuan Festival in half a month, and he has the opportunity to be at the same table with Liang Chuan on the first day of junior high school, thank you for your kindness before, but Li Chengfu didn't get the opportunity to repay the favor.

Li Chengfu, the capital of Xinghua, made great contributions because of the eradication of the bandits in Dashu Mountain, and Li Chengfu did not even let go of a fart from the beginning to the end of this matter, so he made a great contribution in vain. The big pie directly smashed this rough man unconscious, and now his status in the county is faintly more than Wu Huzi's frame, and several county lords will not even take a look at his existence, and now they will take Li Chengfu with them when they go out of the government, and there are capable people, and several people in the county are thinking about wooing.

After eating, several people sat in the main hall. The Taishi chair in the hall is comfortable to sit on, with a cotton cushion on the chair, don't look at this chair just a few wooden strips put together, but the wisdom of the ancients is really convincing, the chair has no discomfort at all, but is very ergonomic, sitting and leaning, the waist will not be sore.

The maid served tea, and this tea was like Tusu wine, and the tea was full of broken tea leaves. Liang Chuan is not used to drinking, modern people drink tea and have to install a tea filter, pass the slag in the tea, the more impurities, the more the kung fu is not in place. This is the difference in concepts, the trend is changing every year, not to mention the difference of nearly a thousand years.

Li Chengfutuo Zheng Zuliang must squeak with Liang Chuan, and the Shangyuan Festival must be lively in Xinghua, and the county magistrate will hold a lantern festival at that time. Li Chengfu was fortunate to be invited to attend, and he wanted to take this opportunity to let Liang Chuan also see Liang Chuan's blessings, and now he can be regarded as a mixed up. Taking advantage of the tea, Zheng Zuliang said to Liang Chuan: "Brother Liang Chuan, in a few days of Shangyuan Festival, Zheng Dutou invites you to go to Xinghua for a small gathering, and the county magistrate has held a lantern festival, Zheng Dutou invites you to go with you to have a lively time." ”

The lantern festival in the county town suddenly made the hearts of several girls burn up, and there were so few entertainment activities in ancient times that they could be fascinated when they met Liangchuan Huqin on the streets of Fengshan. Why the ancient Shangyuan Festival will be more important than the Lantern Festival in people's hearts, it is also because there is fun! Dazzling lanterns, all kinds of juggling activities, you have to eat during the New Year, and the Lantern Festival is both to eat and play.

Zheng Zuliang's daughter Zheng Yuzhi is pampered, and she doesn't know how to be a needlewoman, she just knows how to eat, play and dress up, and when she heard this funny thing, she pestered his father and began to be coquettish, and asked: "Dad~~ I also want to go to the Lantern Festival, take me!" As he spoke, a hand began to wrap around Zheng Zuliang's arm.

Zheng Zuliang slapped Zheng Yu's sesame hand with one hand, and said angrily: "One of your daughters' family, if you don't study hard with your cousin, it's a good thing to stay at home and read more poetry and books, and your brother is ruined by you when you show up outside all day!" ”

Zheng Yuzhi's hand hurt, her mouth pouted, looking at Liang Chuan, a farmer-like person, can go to the Lantern Festival, but she is a young lady of the daughter family but can't go, she is quite unconvinced, but she knows his father's temper when he talks and acts, you are tough with him, it is asking for hardship, so she stood beside her cousin Zheng Ruoying and lost her temper.

Zheng Ruoying also wanted to go to see the excitement, but she couldn't say it, where would the party of the big names in the county let them show up. My cousin has a little temper, she doesn't show it on her face, and if the tantrum solves the problem, it will be easy to do. She glanced at Liang Chuan, it's not like there's no way!

It's Liang Chuan, who seems to be indifferent when he hears what lantern will be, fiddles with the teacup in his hand, and the tea cover picks up the tea foam on the brown tea, although there are many slags in the tea, but the fragrance of the tea is heartwarming, just after eating big fish and meat, drink a sip of tea to relieve greasy and comfortable!

As for the lantern festival, what kind of bullshit will be nice to see it? After the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, there are singing and dancing, and all kinds of tricks are innovating every year, and he can't stand it, not to mention this bullshit lantern festival, it's not a lantern riddle, no longer live, that is, to set up a stage, some people sing, some people sing, it's very boring.

"It's not okay not to go, after the New Year, the house at home is almost finished, it's not a way to be so idle every day, I'm also a person with a career to pursue, I'm busy with you every day to socialize, drink and eat meat, and watch what lantern festivals, isn't this a waste of time!"

Wasted time?

Everyone, including Zheng Yiqian, looked at Liang Chuan like a fool, and the word actually came out of this kid's mouth. I'm afraid this person is not a fool, he Zheng Yiqian is a first-class figure in Fengshan, but he has never even seen the face of the county magistrate, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't have that qualification, what kind of character is the magistrate, even Zheng Zuliang didn't get a first-class official and a half-job, for them like the little people who have been promoted to fight, they are already a Wenqu star.

Now the head of the county invited him to watch the lantern festival, and he actually suspected that others were taking his time! Career pursuits? You can rent a shop that sells shrouds and go to heaven? I don't know, I thought it was a rich man who spoke so hard.

"That's not good, although Zheng Futian made a big bargain on the surface of the last incident, but you brought it out, and it was Li Chengfu who helped you clean it up in the end, you can't say that you or him alone benefited, it can only be said that the two of you have dealings with each other. Besides, in my opinion, your house has just been built, and it is estimated that you will be in a small place in Fengshan in the short term, and there is no harm in knowing a few big people, only benefits. Zheng Zuliang tasted the tea of his uncle's house, and said a few words casually, seemingly indifferent, talking to himself, but reasonable people know that this is a self-surrendering identity, like an elder, carefully following Liang Chuan's reasoning.

Liang Chuan pondered for a long time, and pondered: "Also, the big officials are sharp-eyed, and they see things thoroughly. Zheng Dutou came to invite me to be a peasant in the countryside so much, and if he didn't give his face, it wasn't a slap in the face and then put gold on himself. Zheng Guanren, you turn around and meet Zheng Dutou, tell him, I will definitely go to the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival! ”

"That's right." Zheng Zucheng took a sip of tea into his throat, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he put down the teacup with satisfaction.

"It's been too long, it's not too early, it's time to go back." Liang Chuan patted his ass and planned to go home.

Zheng Yiqian didn't drink tea, he asked his subordinates to pour some wine, and he sighed slowly. Seeing that Liang Chuan was leaving, he whispered: "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

Zheng Zuliang also followed Liang Chuan and stood up, and said, "I'll send you off." ”

Liang Chuan didn't pay attention to these red tape, he left and left, what else to give, but Zheng Zuliang is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, he insisted on sending Liang Chuan out of the hall and outside the gate of the Zheng family.

Outside the door, Zheng Zuliang suddenly asked Zhang: "Brother Liangchuan, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

"The big officials just ask."

Zheng Zuliang had a solemn expression on his face, and his eyes looked at Liang Chuan firmly and asked: "Brother Liang Chuan, I know that you have a genius in your belly, you are not confined to the law in life and work, and your vision and knowledge are all first-class people, your knowledge is not below me, I boldly guess that you and Ruoying are planting sugarcane on the edge of Nanxi, I am afraid that you are not planting to play or to eat!" ”

Hey, why did Zheng Zuliang suddenly talk about this, and asked: "Of course it's not for the sake of eating sugarcane, just eat sugarcane and buy it on the street, why grow it yourself." Play? Hehe, I can't eat enough, where do I still have the heart to play, besides, I have a contract with your niece, life in the world, there is no one who is always, non-gentlemen, the husband is difficult to chase, how can you not deceive women. ”

Zheng Zuliang asked tentatively: "I have been to Yangzhou, where there is gold everywhere, there are silk merchants, salt merchants, grain merchants, tea merchants, and sugar merchants worth thousands of gold, they grow sugar cane and then use secret methods to obtain sugar water and make sugar!" If I'm right, you're going to make sugar, too! ”

Liang Chuan's mouth opened slightly, and before he could speak, Zheng Zuliang continued: "There are thousands of households in Bianliang City that are luxurious, but there are less than one that can touch this thing, and a large amount of sugar is not enough for the official family to enjoy alone, let alone the ordinary people. I said Brother Liang Chuan, is it really a way to compare goods with gold? ”

Liang Chuan looked at Zheng Zuliang's firm eyes, worthy of being the first businessman in Xinghua, listening to the wind is rain, and knowing that it is sugar cane when he hears it, he is not ambiguous, and said directly: "Yes!" ”
