Chapter 20: Rush
Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......
At this time, the flying horse had already broken into Qizhou City at a gallop.
People avoided it, and some people couldn't help but want to scold.
But immediately, the person who scolded saw the truth, and saw that it was an urgent express from Hexi, and swallowed the words that were about to be scolded.
This is an urgent military report, and the stakes are very high, so it is urgent for hundreds of miles, and pedestrians need to back down.
The fast horse did not stop at all, and it was already speeding towards Chang'an.
…………
Chen Zhengtai was lying on the desk repairing the book, and subconsciously sneezed, at this time, where did he think that in the Daming Palace City, someone was scolding himself.
Subconsciously rubbed his nose, oops...... It seems that I have recently contracted a wind chill.
This is ancient times, it is better to be less sick, although there is still a lot of penicillin in your hiking bag, it may be saved, this is an era when any small illness may die.
Thinking so, he continued to bite the pen and bow his head to revise the book.
Since I sent my own recipe, I think that the emperor has already eaten his own beautiful soup, and the beautiful soup was sent by his own beautiful boy, wahaha...... Next, it's time to go and ask how the master is eating.
He searched his stomach and pondered all kinds of words.
Coldly, someone tiptoed open the door of this study.
But the third uncle, who had not seen him for a long time, came in with a slight tremble, he saw his nephew and grandson carrying a pen to repair something, stepped forward, and when he glanced at his eyes, he saw the words "Teacher Junjian" written on the letterhead.
Suddenly... The third uncle, who was originally sick, seemed to be alive all of a sudden, and the dragon spirit and tiger shook his head violently, and he opened his mouth.
"Zhengtai, are you going to repair the book to that Li Erlang again? Ah, this is a big deal, it is related to the honor and disgrace of our family, good nephew, good nephew, you have entered the emperor's door, and our Chen family is honored. You have to be careful when you repair the book, you must know that Li Erlang is moody, but don't offend him, he is a person whose own brothers dare to kill, what else dare not do? ”
The third uncle said with emotion and excitement: "But...... Nephew, when it comes to this whisker and horse, I'm afraid you're not good at it, the old man eats more salt than you eat rice, come, the old man wants to teach you how to slap the horse, and coax that Li Erlang to be happy. ”
The third uncle was full of red face, in fact, he felt sorry for his grandson Chen Zhengde, and asked Chen Zhengtai to intercede, don't let his own grandson raise pigs, but now when he saw Chen Zhengtai repairing the book to the emperor, he immediately felt that his hands and ears were hot, Zhengtai was too young after all, the old lady was experienced, and the old man was not boasting...... When it comes to how to praise that Li Erlang, this world is ......
As he thought so, he stepped forward and stuck his head out, wanting to instruct himself.
But this eye looks at it...... Suddenly, his body was agitated, all his thoughts were interrupted, his shriveled mouth opened subconsciously, and he suddenly uttered a strange syllable: "Ah......hhh
Chen Zhengtai raised his head and looked at the third uncle seriously: "What did the third uncle teach me?" ”
The third uncle suddenly turned his head, and this old face immediately showed a look of shame and shame.
He...... It's time to kneel.
He thought that he could use his rich vocabulary to convince Chen Zhengtai, so as to coax Li Erlang again.
Can ...... now Looking at the words in Chen Zhengtai's letters, he had the feeling that the old man had lived on a dog all his life.
"Chint is really a genius." The third uncle sighed: "I'm not as good as one ten-thousandth of Zhengtai." ”
"Huh?" Chen Zhengtai himself was stunned.
Weird, isn't it?
I don't think my writing is very good.
It's just some ordinary greetings, of course, by the way, I also praised my mentor a little, and wrote a few words about Wencheng martial arts, or the mentor is frugal and loves the people, since the Three Emperors, the virtue of the king has not been overcome.
This...... It's ordinary, what's so strange.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai didn't know that the times were progressive.
In fact, this sloppy slap is also the accumulation of history step by step.
Just like the words of the emperor boasted in the Qin and Han dynasties, in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years later, it was actually just Erer, and the sycophants of the Tang Dynasty, when it came to the Song and Ming dynasties, it was just a younger brother, not to mention, in the Qing Dynasty, which was a great success, it was even more exerted by the literati who were broken by their temperament.
Chen Zhengtai is like standing on the shoulders of the giant of the Qing Dynasty, and he can pinch the cultural dregs of this whiskers and horses casually, which is enough to kill sentient beings in seconds.
Looking at Chen Zhengtai's calm face, the third uncle's body shook and lowered his arrogant head, in front of Zhengtai, he was like a newly enlightened child.
"No, no, no, there's nothing to teach, Zhengtai, how did you come up with this thing, teach the third uncle ......"
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
The third uncle pinched his goatee, looking thirsty, and he was very serious at first glance.
Chen Zhengtai was confused in his heart, and looked down at his letter, huh? This epistle ...... What's the difference? It's ordinary.
"Uncle is too serious......"
The third uncle looked very serious, he squinted, his eyes showed the light of wisdom, and he sighed in his heart, since the Chen family has a genealogy, it can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, to the ancestor of the Chen family, there has never been such a character, this kid, if he is wise and stupid, he looks stupid, like a nerd, but in fact it is unfathomable, he coughed, and forgot about his own grandson for a while, and still smiled and said: "Zhengtai, this ...... This, this letter, must be sent out quickly, so that Li Erlang can see it a day earlier. ”
Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "I'm afraid I have to slow down, I heard Ma Zhou say that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like to read my letters, hey...... It's really a falling flower, and the water is ruthless. ”
The third uncle's mind suddenly began to come alive again, and he was very sorry in his heart, Li Erlang really didn't know how to be blessed in the blessings, hum, if there is such a considerate and good-sounding person around the old man, I am afraid that he will have to live for a few more years.
Chen Zhengtai carefully put away the letterhead, he has a lot of things to worry about now, first of all, he has to recognize the intricate kinship of the Chen family, no way, this era is a big clan, and the population is too much. In addition, there is also the matter of raising pigs, there is the matter of salt production, and all of them are very important.
In the past three or five days, everything has been peaceful.
In the spring season, the lewd rain is falling, even the moon does not open, the bluestone road in front of the Chen family, between the cracks of the masonry, also gives birth to moss, a little careless, it makes people's feet slippery, there are few pedestrians outside, but the visitors of the Chen family are numerous, and there are no visitors on weekdays, such days have lasted for many years.
The decline of the family starts with the number of visitors.
Fortunately, the Chen family is used to it.
Chen Zhengtai has been running to the salt pond outside the city these days, and the output of this refined white salt must be increased, but as for the market, there is no need to worry.
Of course, his mind is still on Li Er, and he doesn't know if he has his own recipe, the old fire soup he offered, whether the teacher wants to be happy after eating it, but ...... Why hasn't there been any news so far?
Daming Palace......
Days of rain did not stop the monarchs and ministers of the court from enjoying the beauty of spring, the plan of the year lies in spring, this is the spring ploughing season, is the most important thing related to the national fortune, Li Shimin has been calling the officials of the three provinces and the household department for several days, these days, the affairs are complicated.
It's just that...... Since the last time he ate that soup, which caused a fuss, Li Shimin seemed to be hiding something in his heart.
On the one hand, it was the military situation of Liang Shidu that had not been followed up for several days, which made him worried.
On the other hand, what emptied his heart was ...... The letter of Chen Zhengtai...... Without.
In fact...... Every time Chen Zhengtai came to repair the book, he was very disgusted, the words in it were too numb, and he kept asking if he had eaten or eaten, and he was very bored.
But now there is no news all of a sudden, but it suddenly makes people uncomfortable.
Li Shimin actually felt that deep in his heart, he was a little stunned, as if he was busy every day, and something was missing.
He wanted to ask Ma Zhou, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply kept silent.
However, he used the excuse to ask the provincial officials under the door, Chen Zhengtai's father Chen Jiye's salt affairs, and wanted to use the salt affairs to understand some inside information.
But who knew that the answer of the officials of Menxia Province made him feel even more strange, in the past, Chen Jiye was wronged every day, but now he is not sparse, and the father and son of the Chen family seem to have disappeared all of a sudden.
This is not the Chen family style.
Could it be ...... Chen Zhengtai...... Sick......
This made Li Shimin's heart sink slightly, you must know that in this era, any illness is a great thing, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is the royal family, there are many people who die early because of a serious illness.
Li Shimin even wanted to order the imperial doctor to see Chen Zhengtai.
But after thinking about it carefully, he finally held back, he calmed down, determined to retract his heart, and think more about Chen Zhengtai's disadvantages, such as the recipe that the bastard boy gave me, the pot of bad soup he boiled, hmph, I haven't cured him yet.
Although Li Shimin didn't mention this account, he remembered in his heart that he had a dense account book in his heart.
