Chapter Thirty-Eight: Bringing Wine to the Wind
Hearing this, Wu Xicun and Zhao Han were stunned at first, and then they were shocked, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. They thought of it together, and the son of Mo Cheng Mo in Li Tong's mouth was only the only son in the family of Jinling General Mo Xingu.
Mo Cheng was extremely low-key when he was in Jinling, so Wu Xicun and Zhao Han had never met, but they had already heard of his name. Among the many children of officials and eunuchs in Jiangnan, Mo Cheng is one of the best figures, and only Li Tong's eldest brother Li Ren can be compared. As for Li Tong, there is still a bit of a gap.
This is not to say how outstanding they are, but their fathers, Mo Xingu and Li Tiangang, are the two giants of Jiangnan Province, one literary and one military, and they are both giants in the southeast half of Dazheng.
In terms of power, the governor in charge of civil affairs appeared to be larger. In fact, the seven generals stationed in the city of Taizheng, each with heavy troops, are the real henchmen of Emperor Taizu.
Seeing that it was Mo Cheng who was fighting today, how could they not be surprised?
Only the shopkeeper Tong is just a part-time worker, where have you heard of Mo Cheng's name? Although he was a little scheming, for a while, he didn't figure out what was going on in front of him.
He saw the big boss come in person. hurriedly stepped forward and stammered, "The owner, it's this guest, it's unreasonable." Obviously, it is the Tianzi Pavilion set by Li Gongzi and them, but this person forcibly occupies it and does not let ......"
He thought to himself that if he flattered Li Gongzi and others, the owner would definitely like it.
When Zhou Dacheng heard this, he didn't speak, and slapped him with a big slap on his backhand.
Shopkeeper Tong took the slap suddenly, and he didn't know what was going on, covering his face and standing in place.
How did he know that his owner, Zhou Dacheng, had been an errand boy under Mo Xingu when he was young, and he was a disciple of the Mo family. Because of his loyalty and some talent, Mo Xingu gave him the principal and let him open the free building. Speaking of which, the biggest backer of Zizai Building is Mojia Moxin Valley.
At this time, Zhou Dacheng's real master is here, how can he care about Li Gongzi and Wang Gongzi?
"I don't have time to talk to you at this time, so you go and get rid of these idle people. Get a few more good Jiangnan side dishes, I want to have a drink with the little marquis. ”
Mo Cheng didn't embarrass Zhou Dacheng, but just said lightly.
Zhu Ping'an had been watching the play leisurely beside him, and seeing that the play had come to an end, he chuckled and said to Wu Xicun, "Wu Gongzi, it seems that you can't invite this guest today." Or maybe a different place, or a different day? ”
Although Wu Xicun is arrogant, even when he meets a Kyoto magnate like Zhu Ping'an, he also wants to fight with his neck in order to earn some face for the Jiangnan Shi clan. But Mo Cheng is different, his father Mo Xingu is a figure who can turn the clouds and rain in Jiangnan, but I am afraid that even the patriarchs of these big families have to be respectful in front of Mo Xingu. At this time, seeing Zhu Ping'an's sarcastic remarks, his face suddenly turned pale, but he didn't dare to sneer at him, but he just kept silent.
Li Tong's original intention was that he didn't want to compete with Zhu Ping'an, but when he saw Mo Cheng here, he had already retreated.
Without waiting for Zhou Dacheng to send off the guests, Li Tong and the other three glanced at each other, and then without saying a word, they bowed slightly to Mo Cheng, and then turned around and went downstairs.
The little young master spoke, and Zhou Dacheng naturally didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he took the shopkeeper Tong, who was still stunned, downstairs, and left the entire third floor to Zhu Ping'an and Mo Cheng.
"Today, I originally intended to invite the little marquis to relax, but I didn't expect to be swept away by these idlers."
Mo Cheng smiled helplessly at Zhu Ping'an and said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, in fact, this marquis likes to see these bustles the most."
Zhu Ping'an hugged and smiled.
Mo Cheng couldn't help but praise in his heart, the little marquis is broad-minded, acts freely, and has the style of the ancients!
…………
The two drank a few glasses and tasted some Jiangnan side dishes, and Zhu Ping'an couldn't stop praising them.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was in a good mood, Mo Cheng took the opportunity to say, "Mo Cheng invited the little marquis to come today, in addition to drinking and enjoying the scenery, there is actually one more thing ......"
Zhu Ping'an was eating a piece of West Lake vinegar fish, and when he heard this, he said vaguely, "Brother Mo, Brother Mo, I know that your wine is not so delicious." Say, what's the matter, is it that the young lady of which family has menstrual pain and wants to let this marquis take a look? ”
"Menstrual cramps? What is that? Mo Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Don't get me wrong, little marquis, this time I didn't invite you to see the disease."
Mo Cheng didn't understand what Zhu Ping'an was saying, and he didn't care about him, and then said, "It's still about Mr. Lu." After being healed by the little marquis that day, the old gentleman's leg disease recovered quickly. He remembered the words of the little marquis, and he was always looking for herbs that could be cured. ”
"Found it?"
Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Mo Cheng to finish speaking, he asked.
He was also anxious to find the Mushu Grass and the Iron Bone Flower in his heart, so that he could refine the Mixed Yuan Pill as soon as possible.
"I haven't found it yet. However, I heard that the old gentleman had already contacted his friends in the rivers and lakes, saying that there would be an underground trade fair in the near future, and some precious herbs might appear. ”
"Oh? Then he went to buy medicine, why did he let you come to me? ”
Hearing that he hadn't found the herb he needed, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"The prescription prescribed by the little marquis that day was too strange, and some of the herbs Mr. Lu didn't know. He wondered if he could bother the little marquis again and go together to help identify it. ”
Mo Cheng explained.
Zhu Ping'an's heart is good, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize the mushu grass and iron bone flower, but his face showed embarrassment, and said, "Recently, my official business has been a little busy, and I have to go to the palace to accompany my grandson to study, but I am afraid that I won't be able to leave......
Mo Cheng knew that Zhu Ping'an was also the companion of his grandson and the identity of the imperial guard, and when he said it was true, he couldn't help but look anxious.
"So be it. When the date is set, Brother Mo will come back to inform me. For Brother Mo's sake, I see if I can take a leave of absence from my grandson, put aside the duties in the palace first, and accompany Brother Mo on a trip. ”
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to joke with this honest man anymore, so he pretended to ponder for a while before he spoke.
When Mo Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but say in his heart, "The little marquis actually dares to ask his grandson for leave and go to do private affairs." It seems that the rumors are true, this little marquis is really the first celebrity around Taisun. ”
I can't help but feel both grateful and admired for Zhu Ping'an.
However, listening to Zhu Ping'an's tone, he finally agreed, and Mo Cheng was also overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Why is Brother Mo so concerned about the affairs of the Lu family?" I'm afraid that I have a lot of relationship with that Lu Xianxian girl? Tell me honestly, are you an old acquaintance with him, or are you an old acquaintance? ”
Hearing this, Mo Cheng's face suddenly turned red, and he explained again and again, "What did the little marquis say?" It's just a friend, it's just a friend......"
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an said with contempt in his heart, "What kind of innocence are you pretending?" I think that before the marquis cured of your illness, the woman who had a good time with you was not a thousand, but also eight hundred, right? ”
Thinking of this, I felt a little envious in my heart.
How did Mo Cheng know these dirty thoughts in Zhu Ping'an's heart, his mouth was still chattering, repeatedly explaining his relationship with Lu Xianxian.
Zhu Ping'an saw that he just asked casually, but he poked out a hornet's nest, and couldn't help but have a big head. I was really annoyed by Mo Cheng, so I had to grab the tin wine jug on the table and pour myself a drink depressedly.
