Chapter 272 [The bigger the scene, the more it can hook people's hearts]
Tang Chang'an, Cheng bites Jin Mansion.
The steward of Cheng Mansion is called Cheng Si, and he is an old pawn who has followed Cheng Yanjin for many years, saying that he is old, referring to the seniority in the battlefield, in fact, this product is just in his early thirties, and his physique and energy are at the peak of his health.
As the leader of Cheng Yanjin's personal soldiers, he will inevitably be worshiped by Lao Cheng as a retainer, not only as a retainer, but also as the first retainer, just like Ma Sanbao of the Gu family, the first retainer has the power to manage family affairs.
But Cheng Si didn't do anything today, this guy has been guarding the door since it was dark, with his neck stretched out, staring in a certain direction.
He was not the only one in front of Cheng's house.
Today's Chengfu is very lively......
But on both sides of the bluestone steps, there are twenty parts, and everyone has a solemn face, as if they are cast in iron.
These twenty tribes rarely appear on weekdays, because they are all the most elite soldiers of the Cheng family, and everyone has been on the battlefield, and all of them are fierce soldiers killed in the sea of corpses and blood.
Moreover, they all have great feats on them.
There are even a few of them who were awarded the title of county barons for their merits.
Datang attaches great importance to military merits, how glorious is it to be knighted for meritorious service? Therefore, these 20 pro-soldiers can no longer be regarded as ordinary soldiers, and they have already crossed the most critical threshold from soldiers to generals.
It's already considered to be at the level of a human being.
But today, they have become soldiers again, picked up soldiers again, and the mountains are standing at the gate of Chengfu.
In addition to the dispatch of these twenty knighted tribes, the entire mansion was busy with lights, but seeing a few stewards constantly shouting, commanding the family members to break their legs.
The height of the lantern is not flat enough?
Remove it and hang it up again.
The bluestone tied to the horse in front of the door is not shiny enough?
Hurry up and let the little maids rub hard.
A big red blanket stretched directly from the gate to the street, and the first minister, Cheng Si, stood in the center of the big red blanket, his eyes staring in a certain direction from beginning to end.
The howling cold wind was blowing, and Cheng Si did not move.
This is the momentum of a founding family.
At this time, on the street in front of Cheng's house, there were a small number of people standing every three or five days, these people were obviously not ordinary people, but a certain retainer with the same identity as Cheng Si, they even appeared at the door earlier than Cheng Si, and a few people came on the fifth watch.
Suddenly, someone exhaled a breath of hot air, stomped his feet vigorously as if to keep warm, this person let out a laugh in his mouth, and joked to Cheng Si from afar: "Fourth Brother Cheng, this posture you put on today is really bluffing." It's been almost two hours? You've been standing still. I said, are you tired? How about a little activity? Hurry up and come here, let's talk first, and when your eldest son comes back? It's not too late for you to put on a welcoming posture again......"
It's a pity that Cheng Si still doesn't move.
The guy seemed to be very bored and heyed twice? After thinking about it, he said again: "The third brother of the Qin family is also here?" Fourth Brother Cheng, you can't even give him face. Hurry up, we haven't gotten together for a while. ”
Hearing this person say the name of Third Brother Qin, the solemnity on Cheng Si's face loosened slightly? But he still stood in front of the door of Cheng's mansion without moving? Just look that way.
He exhaled slowly, and said apologetically: "Brothers, don't you blame you for offending? Today is a major event for our Cheng family? Brother, I dare not relax in the slightest. ”
A man in the distance nodded? Praise him from afar: "Fourth brother Cheng? Are you busy with yours? That's what the sixth child of the Niu family said just now? This is the place for us to chat at this time, you don't need to listen to his chatter, you can just be busy with your business......"
Cheng Si arched his fists with both hands, and said sincerely: "Third Brother Qin, thank you very much." ”
The man in the distance nodded again? Said: "Okay? Are we all brothers who have died? Who has blocked the knife for whom? It doesn't need to be like this between brothers. ”
Cheng Si let out an 'um'.
The seventh member of the Niu family, who was the first to speak, also shouted loudly at this time, and apologized from afar: "Fourth Brother Cheng, I'm sorry?" Brother, I'm just kidding, in fact, how dare I disturb your business. Hahahaha, fourth brother, don't blame, after you are busy welcoming the eldest prince home, brother, I will definitely set a table for you in Chang'an City to ask for guilt......"
Cheng Si glanced at him from a distance, and said slowly: "The seventh brother has a heart, and when the time comes, I will definitely eat you fiercely." ”
The old seven of the Niu family laughed.
These people are the retainers of each family, and they were the pro-soldiers of the heads of each family, and the civilians of the Tiance Mansion are from more civilian backgrounds, and the credit is almost all cut out by a knife and a gun, the heads of the families fight on the battlefield, and the pro-soldiers fight with the head of the family, there is an old saying since ancient times, the swords and soldiers on the battlefield have no eyes, so these pro-soldiers are lifelong friendships, and everyone has given who has blocked the knife many times on the battlefield.
Their family heads are their military colleagues, and their relatives are their closest military comrades.
The heads of the family have a fateful friendship, and their relatives also have a fateful friendship, so they will come together today, whether it is for merit or selfishness, they have to help the Cheng family a scene.
……
This is a Suzaku Street, it is the place where the Tang Dynasty nobles live together, because the long street is lined with high-gate mansions, and the end of the long street is the Tang Palace, so this street is extremely prosperous, and it is bustling with people on weekdays.
Suzaku Street is generally not allowed to run wildly.
But today, it's a little different.
The martial marquis who patrolled the city seemed to have been hinted at a long time ago, so they began to run on the street early in the morning, and occasionally saw pedestrians wandering, they would immediately come forward to persuade each other, first saluting with a friendly attitude, and then pulling people into the corner and muttering, so the pedestrians made a sudden realization, and looked at Cheng Fu with curiosity on their faces.
At this time, the martial marquis would take out a small handful of copper coins from their arms, and said with a smile on their faces: "This is a little meaning on the Lu Guogong Mansion, brother, you have to give a face after you take it, don't wander around the street first, and wait until the Lu Guogong Mansion finishes doing things, and then it's not too late to go shopping......
"What? Do you want to see the excitement? ”
"You can definitely go and see it, Lu Guogong is not a fierce and vicious person who disturbs the people. He welcomes anyone to join in the fun, and this kind of thing is specially paid to invite people. But you'll have to wait a while, and don't wander the streets now, lest you'll be bumped into by a fast horse......"
"Thank you, thank you brother for your understanding, you stay in this corner for a while, and then we'll go to the street and have a look. Hahahaha, it won't take too long, it's not too long, it's going to be done soon, it's going to be done soon. ”
The martial marquis have never been so pleasant as they are today.
And the people of Chang'an City have never been so cooperative as they are today.
The reason is very simple, the Cheng family threw money.
Not only the Cheng family is throwing money, but there are also several families that are also throwing money today, in short, a large amount of copper coins were smashed outward, and the people who were shopping waited for a while, and there were no pedestrians on the entire Vermilion Bird Street.
……
Suddenly, a horse rode fast and galloped on Suzaku Street.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived in front of the city gate.
But seeing that the knight couldn't get off the horse, he shouted directly on the horse, and said eagerly: "Fourth Brother Cheng......"
Only these three words were shouted, and nothing else was said.
But Cheng Si's face suddenly turned solemn, Huo Ran turned his head to look at the direction of the gate of the city behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make a noise, bow down and wait together." ”
The gate instantly became audible with a pin.
Whether it was the Cheng Mansion's family members or the curious little maid in their eyes, everyone was stunned, and everyone's eyes were all looking in the same direction.
At this moment, I suddenly felt the ground under my feet shake a little, and immediately after, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
"It's coming!"
In the corner of the street not far away, Niu Qi, who used to joke, subconsciously spoke.
The third brother Qin raised his hand and waved it lightly, and scolded: "Shut up and shut up." Today is a major event for the Cheng family, and those of us who are brothers can't stir up the scene. Everyone stood back, and I was afraid that there must be hundreds of cavalry. ”
Gu's Iron Ride?
These four words popped into everyone's minds.
Thundered!
The sound of horses' hooves approached quickly.
Almost in a few breaths, a figure suddenly appeared on the other side of Suzaku Street.
It was more than a hundred horsemen galloping on horseback.
Then, after a few breaths, more than a hundred horsemen rushed forward and slammed the reins together.
It's really just a pull on the reins......
But more than a hundred war horses neighed in unison, and suddenly all of them soared into the air with their front hooves to show their majestic posture, from rushing wildly to stationary, and they only pulled the reins, and only used a respite......
……
"Good!"
Someone shouted a loud cheer.
No one would have thought that this scene would be seen by Li Shimin, it turned out that the emperor had already climbed to the top floor of the Taiji Hall of the palace, and he was also paying attention to the movement in front of the Cheng Mansion from beginning to end.
At this time, by Li Shimin's side, Empress Eldest Sun was looking forward to watching, and praised softly: "Is this Brother-in-law Gu's cavalry?" It's really pleasing to the eye. ”
Li Shimin smiled, and said with deep meaning: "This is not pleasing to the eye, but the most elite horsemanship, more than a hundred cavalry from crazy to stationary, and they only need to pull the reins to do it, tsk, really, really ......"
The emperor sighed for a long time, and it seemed that he had not been able to find a suitable word of praise, so he turned his head to look at the eldest grandson empress, and pretended to be profound: "Guanyin, do you know what this means?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun sneered and said, "What else can it mean?" Your Majesty just wants to say that our brother-in-law's cavalry is powerful. ”
"Wrong!"
Li Shimin's face was solemn, and he said in an old-fashioned manner: "You should say, it's very powerful." ”
Empress Changsun sneered again, glanced at the emperor and said, "Listen to your tone, do you want to add a sentence that is very capable of fighting?" ”
Li Shimin actually nodded and said, "Yes, it's very capable of fighting!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't cry or laugh, stepped forward to hug Li Shimin's arm, and asked jokingly: "Greedy?" ”
Li Shimin did not shy away from it, nodded again and said, "It's really greedy, I'm very greedy." ”
Empress Changsun stretched out her hand and patted him, pretending to be annoyed: "That's our brother-in-law's cavalry." You, the emperor, can't see anything good and want to put it in his arms. ”
Li Shimin heaved and said a little embarrassed: "Yes, you can't keep thinking about putting it in your arms." I'm the emperor, I'm the emperor, not greedy, not greedy......"
The eldest grandson queen listened to his continuous broken thoughts, and it was obvious that her heart was extremely greedy, and the queen couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing again.
But she didn't dare to continue to talk about this topic, lest her husband really have bad thoughts, so she hurriedly diverted Li Shimin's attention, and pretended to be curious: "Your Majesty, have you seen that those cavalry are carrying a large package, and their mounts are also carrying a large package......
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said with deep meaning: "I'm afraid this is the cotton product that the guy wrote in the letter." ”
Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him and said with a smile: "So, is it time for our husband and wife to appear next?" ”
Li Shimin laughed, and seemed to be extremely keen on acting.
The emperor and his family quickly went down to the top floor of the Taiji Palace, obviously preparing to leave the palace and go to Chengfu to sing a premeditated drama.
……
At this time, in front of the Chengfu Mansion, it was almost audible that the needle had fallen.
More than a hundred knights stood on the long street, as solemn as more than a hundred sculptures, except for the occasional snort of the mount under the crotch, there was no more chaos.
Suddenly, a horse moved, and a young man rode forward slowly.
The young man turned over and dismounted abruptly, bent down deeply with his hands in fists, and said, "Fourth Uncle Cheng." ”
Needless to say, this young man is also Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Si's figure was as immobile as a mountain, standing in the middle of the long street and receiving a salute from him, until the young man straightened up, Cheng Sifang nodded slowly and said solemnly: "Okay!" ”
Suddenly, five more horsemen moved.
But seeing the other five Gu disciples behind, he immediately stepped forward and turned over and dismounted together, suddenly clasped his fists with both hands at the same time, stood behind Cheng Chumo and saluted together, and shouted together: "Fourth Uncle Cheng!" ”
All the onlookers were stunned.
This time, Cheng Si hurriedly dodged, obviously not daring to accept the etiquette, and hurriedly said: "A few sons, kill ...... below"
Who knew that Cheng Chumo suddenly opened his mouth and said softly: "Fourth Uncle Cheng, they are my junior brothers. ”
With just this sentence, Cheng Si stood on the spot and didn't dare to move again.
He solemnly accepted the salute of several people, and an inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Chumo's voice sounded again, and he said softly: "This time I went home to save my relatives, and the six of them returned to Chang'an together...... I am the first, that is, I come to my house first, because I am the elder brother of the master! ”
He paused as he spoke, and then said: "I am Zeng Yan, we brothers and sisters should be like brothers, so my home is their home......
After speaking, he paused again, looked at Cheng Si sincerely, and said, "So, my Fourth Uncle Cheng is also their Fourth Uncle Cheng." ”
The other five disciples opened their voices in unison, and shouted respectfully again, "Fourth Uncle Cheng! ”
"Yes, yes!"
Cheng Sitang, a thug who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was moved by a few little guys at this time, and his face turned red, but he knew that now was not the time to be excited, so he forcibly restrained all his emotions.
He turned around abruptly and shouted at the door, almost like a roar: "The first disciple of the Gu family, the eldest son of the Cheng family, return home, and ...... the provincial family."
After a moment's pause, he then yelled again, saying, "The six disciples of the Gu family are the same as the provincial relatives of Cheng Mansion!" ”
At the gate, twenty tribes saluted, and a group of housekeepers and maids bent down in unison under the leadership of the steward, and said, "Welcome home." ”
Cheng Chumo leaned down, hugged the youngest Wang Bo in his arms, and then smiled at the others, and said with a warm face: "Brothers, let's go home." ”
The six disciples slowly entered the door on the bright red blanket.
……
This scene of etiquette was solemn and magnificent, and at this time, countless people watching the ceremony in front of the entire Cheng Mansion couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
But after the admiration, countless people began to leave quickly, and the people who stayed behind kept telling those who left to send the news back quickly.
Most of them said this: "Go back quickly and tell the family, the Gu family's disciples have already entered the family." You can follow the premeditated plan and bring gifts to the door to celebrate. ”
Thank-you gifts are a cover.
Congratulations and celebrations are fake.
Now what countless families in Manchang'an are looking forward to is the cotton products brought back by the Gu family's disciples.
Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you dare to determine whether it is profitable or not.
How much can you earn?
What share should I invest in?
These things must be done with caution and caution......
