Tang Chang'an, Cheng bites Jin Mansion.

What should have come, all have come.

For example, the officials of the Tiance Mansion department, almost all of them were present, and as far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen national princes.

Not long after the princes arrived, they immediately followed the ladies of various families, no surprise, all of them were wives, nominally to find Mrs. Cheng to walk around, but the actual reason is self-evident.

There are excuses for all of the above.

And then there are the ones who are supposed not to come.

The various families in Chang'an City have always been-for-tat with the Tiance Mansion, and Cheng Yanjin was born in the Tiance Mansion, so he was naturally hostile to these families.

There is no friendship between each other.

However, these families are also here today.

When I came, I brought some gifts to express my heart, and politely handed over the greetings of each family, smiling, very friendly, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Cheng Fu could not drive people back.

Therefore, these people who shouldn't have come also entered the Cheng Mansion.

Finally, there are some people who are not qualified to come. For example, those families whose status is not high, and some Qingliu civil officials who are known as lonely people, these people are self-aware on weekdays, and basically they will not rashly visit a prince, but today's matter is too important, so these people are cheeky and also came.

In a word, today's Cheng Mansion is very lively.

……

The Cheng family's style of doing things has always been a bandit-like posture.

Rough.

Throwing money at the expense.

A courtyard was emptied, the thick snow was pushed to the base of the wall, and the family brought in a dozen large stoves, and made more than a hundred braziers in the corners, and then, the finest charcoal was poured into it without money.

Between the raging fires, the whole yard was splashed with heat, it was obviously a big winter, and it was obviously an open place, but Cheng Fu directly made the whole yard warm through the most brutal method.

"What money can solve, that's not a problem, so say, money is really a good thing, ahhahaha, money is really a good thing......"

Lao Cheng Xian's face is disgraceful.

Anyone who saw it wanted to beat him up.

But everyone's attention quickly shifted.

Only to see a figure flashing at the door of the courtyard? Cheng Chumo came quickly with a few junior disciples? All the way through the crowd and straight to the center? Suddenly, Cheng Chumo coughed lightly? The six disciples bent down and saluted at the same time, and then? Stood in front of a row of tables.

Everyone knows that this is the main drama going to Cairo.

Sure enough, I saw that Cheng was silent, was he long-winded? Pick up a padded jacket straight from the table? He said loudly: "Uncles and elders, I know what your purpose is, and it is precisely my purpose......

Talking about a slight pause? Raising the padded jacket and said, "Everyone, look? This is called a padded jacket. The outer layer is cotton cloth spun from cotton, and the inside is filled with cotton. As for its warmth effect, everyone can look at my father's situation. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Everyone has already seen it, Cheng Yanjin's face is full of sweat, that guy is showing off? The three layers inside and three layers outside the body are obviously nine cold now? But it was as hot as if it had just been fished out of the water, so why was this the case? Everyone can see it at a glance.

The reason for the stove in the courtyard is a little bit, but the bigger reason is definitely that it is too thick.

The padded jacket on Lao Cheng's body is really thick enough.

But seeing Cheng Chumo put down the padded jacket in his hand? Reach out and pick up another one from the table? Gong said: "This is a quilt?" The material is the same as the padded jacket, as for its warmth effect, let's take a look at my father......"

The crowd laughed again.

Lao Cheng was draped in a quilt.

The scene became joyful for a moment.

Next, Cheng Chumo seemed to be a product commentator, picking up one piece, introducing one, and all using Lao Cheng as a model, which could make everyone laugh every time.

Finally, it was the most critical moment.

"Elder uncles, all the patriarchs, I am silent, I am a disciple of the Youyun Gu family, I returned home today, and brought back these cotton products by the way, why bother to bring this thing back, because we want to honor our parents......"

"Ahem, don't laugh, this is the rhetoric on the scene!"

"When we were about to set off, the master once made some advice, and the master said that we will inevitably face this scene when we get home. Those who come are wise, and no one will be fooled. No matter how appropriate the words were, they could not conceal the true intentions of our trip. ”

"Therefore, my master told me again, just tell a little lie, there is no need to take it seriously, and no one will take it seriously, the main purpose of our relatives this time is to lure the families to be greedy for the profits of the cotton industry......

Li Chongyi next to him seemed to be in a hurry, stretched out his hand and hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in a panic: "Senior brother, why are you bald out of this?" This is what the Master told us, but it is not something for you to say. This is a whisper between master and apprentice, do you know what a whisper means? ”

Cheng Chumo seemed to be stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze, "Can't you tell everyone?" ”

Li Chongyi stomped his feet and said, "Saying it is revealing the intention, how can you lie to everyone next......"

Cheng Chumo 'froze on the spot', and after a long time, he suddenly turned his head and yelled at everyone in the courtyard: "Uncles and elders, I Cheng Chumo said something wrong just now, I will say it again, you listen again, okay?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

The audience burst into laughter.

Someone joked from afar: "Cheng family boy, it's too late." You have already revealed the intentions of the master, and we will not believe it if you want to change your words. Hahahaha, it's interesting and interesting, why did you accept you as a shrewd character. If he saw today's scene, he would probably beat his chest angrily. Hahahaha, Gu Tianya was finally planted in the hands of his apprentice. ”

The crowd laughed again.

The scene was even more joyful.

Lao Cheng jumped out suddenly, and yelled angrily: "Mother, why did my cub become a fool?" You all shut up Lao Tzu and let my child lie again......"

The crowd laughed even louder.

Several Guogongs from Tiance Mansion couldn't stand it, so they sighed and walked out and dragged Lao Cheng aside.

Qin Qiong scolded with a cold face: "Cheng Zhijie, do you have any brains?" Your child is a junior, no matter what you say or do, everyone only laughs, but what is your identity, do you also mix with it? ”

Lao Cheng looked angry and said: "This is the first time that my family has been on the big scene, how can I, who is a father, not support me." ”

Xu Shiji next to him had been watching coldly, and then suddenly opened his mouth and sneered: "You support your ass, didn't you find out that Cheng Chumo did it on purpose?" ”

"Did I do it on purpose?" Lao Cheng seemed to be a little incredulous.

Li Jing stood beside Xu Shiji, and at this time he also spoke slowly, and said with deep meaning: "Even if your child has a straightforward personality, he is not a stupid doll who doesn't understand anything. What he said just now was clearly just a strategy, you think about it carefully, why did Li Chongyi interrupt Cheng Chumo's words in a hurry just now? That's not a fork at all, it's a special kind of fit......"

Xu Shiqi took over the conversation again and said, "This is probably a trick that Gu Tianya taught them. ”

Lao Cheng suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile: "These children, the city is still too shallow. The strategies taught to them by Brother Gu are very good, but unfortunately a few little things are not real enough. Alas, still too young. ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all reacted.

Xu Shiji stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of Lao Cheng's nose, and scolded with a smile: "We forgot, you are the most shrewd, in fact, you have long seen that a few little guys are acting, but you deliberately pretended not to understand and pretended to be anxious." You just jumped out and swooped, just to make up for the children......"

Lao Cheng sighed again, turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo and the others from a distance, and said, "They are all children, and they can't do big things." I don't know what Brother Gu thinks, he actually handed over such an important thing to them. The burden is too heavy for them to carry. ”

Xu Shijie and Li Jing glanced at each other, a little puzzled by Gu Tianya's intentions.

These two are wise men among the generals, so they think more than others when they encounter problems, and it is precisely because they think too much that it is easy to fall into misunderstandings.

However, because of Qin Qiong's upright nature, he seemed to have guessed Gu Tianya's original intention at this time, and suddenly said loudly: "The Turks on the grassland have an old saying, which is called that a young eagle cannot soar without being beaten. So whenever the young eagle has just given birth to its first hard feathers, the eagle will push the young eagle down the cliff with a heart...... If you fall to death, you will die in vain, and if you don't fall to death, you will spread your wings in mid-air. ”

Lao Cheng looked thoughtful, nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Gu is going to beat a few children!" ”

Then he said with a worried face: "But isn't he afraid that a few children will mess things up?" In the cotton products industry, I Lao Cheng has basically understood that this is a major matter that can solve the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of Han women, and even affect and control the state affairs of the entire steppe Turks. Such a major event cannot be taken too seriously. He should have come to Chang'an in person Gu Tianya to implement this matter smoothly, but he was better to throw a few children out......"

Qin Qiong hesitated slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "This may be the difference between him and us." ”

Li Jing suddenly opened his mouth and said slowly: "This is the real good teacher, and he has worked hard to train his disciples. He knew the importance of this matter better than anyone else, but he still dared to teach it to a few disciples. Cheng Zhijie, believe it or not, he must have a backhand to prepare, once the children mess things up, he will immediately use the backhand to make up for it. But what if the kids get it done? That's a valuable experience. ”

After a pause, he said with deep meaning: "In life, nine times out of ten, you will fail." Where does the winner come from? It's nothing more than growing from a beating. ”

Lao Cheng nodded solemnly, suddenly exhaled deeply, and said with feeling: "The fact that my children can worship under him is really an opportunity that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes. With such a master teaching with great painstaking efforts, I am afraid that even rotten mud and rotten wood can become a material......"

Several princes felt the same way.

……

At this time, there was movement over there, but Cheng Chumo seemed to be ashamed and angry, and suddenly screamed, and there were rolling hot tears.

Lao Cheng and the others were stunned, and subconsciously wanted to overturn all the conjectures just now, after all, the children were crying, and acting couldn't be so real.

But seeing Cheng Chumo screaming again, he suddenly pulled out his feet and ran away, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the courtyard, and everyone only heard the crying outside the courtyard louder, and shouted sadly: "Master, I'm sorry for you." You entrusted me with such an important matter, but I leaked the secret at the beginning. What to do, what to do......"

"Hundreds of thousands of Han girls in the land of clouds are looking forward to the opening of the cotton industry. Without this inheritance, they will continue to suffer from hunger. ”

"They can't earn money, and they have nothing to rely on for the rest of their lives. Even if you get married, you will have low self-esteem, what to do, what to do, this is my sin, I have a big sin everywhere. ”

"I still remember when I was about to set off, a little girl stopped in front of my horse, she blinked her eyes, full of anticipation, and she asked me pitifully if this trip would be successful. She wants to have work like that, she hopes that Shizun's textile workshop can be opened as soon as possible, but, however, the workshop needs a lot of cotton, and hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton must be planted in the land of clouds......

"Shizun secretly told me that the minimum guarantee will be 500,000 mu, and if this amount is not reached, the textile industry will not be able to start. Even if the workshop is built, it can only be empty. Even if they recruit Han women, they have no work to do. The premise of everything has to be to attract various families to grow cotton, and if everyone doesn't come, this thing can't be done. ”

"That's why the master will let us go home to save our relatives, and bring cotton products to tempt everyone to rise out of greed, as long as everyone sees the benefits, it is possible to help us ......"

"Because, we can't do this with the little manpower of Youyun alone."

"If you mess up, let me mess it up, hundreds of thousands of Han women will be in trouble because of me, they will starve to death, they will definitely starve to death."

The cry is sad, and the listener is heartbroken.

……

The progress of the matter seemed to have an accident, and it seemed that it had not been carried out according to Gu Tianya's plan.

Cheng Chumo's cries continued to spread into the courtyard, and Lao Cheng was the first to take it anymore, so he suddenly roared violently and shouted: "Child, don't cry,"
