Chapter Seventy-Five: Cai's Mansion Invites
"Yes, Daddy, Tang Zheng didn't know that he was the Yingchuan Tang Clan, until he was recognized by Tang Ji on the street a few days ago. After Tang Zheng disappeared, he somehow ended up in Youbeiping, and heard him say that he was lying on the side of the road with a head injury covered in blood, and was rescued by Cheng Pu, who happened to be returning home from the Yaxia of Tuyin County. After the head injury healed, he found that he only remembered his own name, not where his home was, and where he was from, so he never went to see his family. This time, he went to Beijing to report on work, and was recognized by Tang Ji, who went out to grab medicine for his mother, when he walked on the street, and then recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors. ”
"Wait, you said he went to Beijing to report on his work? So he's still an official? He's not going to be ......."
"Yes Daddy, you guessed right. He is the rare talent Tang Zheng who you often mention in your mouth. ”
"Yes, I'll just say why is this name so familiar, it turns out to be the second son of Tang Mao's old guy, and you mentioned this name to me when your Uncle Tang's son disappeared before. It's just that I didn't think about it for a while, if it was really Tang Zheng from Youbeiping, it would be not bad, worthy of my daughter. ”
"Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't even know what my brother means to me now." Cai Yan said to Cai Yong shyly. Looking at his daughter's shy side, Cai Yong quipped: "How do you know that you are shy now?" Who used a hunger strike to blackmail his own father just now? ”
"Daddy, I'm ignoring you. Hum! ”
"Okay, I'll let people go to the Tang Mansion to invite Tang Zheng over for dinner, I want to see if this Tang Zheng is as legendary, and see what he has the ability to make my daughter dizzy."
Tang Zheng didn't know that he had been remembered by Cai Yong, and he was putting vegetables in his mother's bowl at the moment. "If my brother doesn't go to be an official and open a restaurant and become a cook, I dare to guarantee that the business must be the best in the whole Luoyang, and it must be full of guests every day." The food cooked by my brother was so delicious. Tang Ji expressed his opinion while holding a bone and gnawing on it.
"You girl, I can't stop you if I have something to eat. How can you arrange your brother like this, cooking is only a ninth-rate profession that ordinary people will do. How can your brother say that he is also an official of the imperial court now, how can he manage his cheap business. ”
"Mother, there is no high or low occupation, I think as long as it is helpful to people and can promote social development, the profession is noble. If everyone thinks that it is a lowly profession, and everyone does not engage in this profession, I believe that soon this country and this nation will be finished in a short time. For example, do you think that cooking is a cheap job, and everyone doesn't do it, so what do we eat? Wouldn't it be to starve to death, and some people think that killing pigs is a cheap industry, if the butchers don't kill pigs, what do we use to supplement nutrition? If the nutrition is insufficient, the person will have no strength, no strength, how can the farmer grow the crops? If you don't have the strength, how can a soldier take a weapon and defend his country? ”
"Okay, my mother can't tell you, what you said is right." Tang's mother said to Tang Zheng with a smile.
"Mother, I think what my brother said is very right. If the farmer doesn't go to the farm, and the soldier doesn't defend the country, then won't we just sit and wait to die? Tang Ji said.
"Okay, I can't talk about you two brothers and sisters. Let's eat, the food will be cold in a while. ”
Tang Zheng and Tang Ji looked at each other and stopped talking, then lowered their heads and silently began to eat.
"Oh, I'm so full, if I go on like this, I'm worried about whether I'll be able to move in the future." After eating, Tang Ji lay on the chair without any image and said with emotion.
"Then you still eat so much, you don't know how to eat less." Tang's mother said to Tang Ji.
"That's to blame my brother, who made his food so delicious. I just don't know who will be cheaper in the future, I can eat the food made by my brother every day, I feel happy when I think about it, no, I want to eat a little more, in case my brother gets married in the future, I can't eat the food made by my brother. ”
"Are you embarrassed to blame your brother? Is it still wrong for your brother to cook for you? Feelings, you still want your brother to cook for you every day. ”
"It's not like my brother's food is too delicious."
"Okay, mother, my sister should exercise a little after eating to eliminate her appetite so that she will be healthy, mother, I will help you to take a walk in the yard." The little sister also went together, and she ate all day long and didn't exercise, so she was careful to be fat like a pig and couldn't get married. ”
"Ah, if you want to care, even if I am as fat as a pig, I must be a cute fat pig." Although Tang Ji retorted, she still got up and walked slowly in the yard with her brother to help her mother left and right.
"Second son, this is an invitation sent by Cai's Mansion just now for you to go to Cai's house for a banquet tonight." A family member ran over and handed the invitation in his hand to Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng took the invitation and looked at it in confusion. It was indeed invited by Cai Fu, but it is unknown why Cai Fu invited Tang Zheng to him, and the final payment was actually Cai Yong. Cai Yong was a famous writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and even Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others respected him very much, but I don't know why he invited a junior to a banquet at home today, it stands to reason that such a formal invitation should be treated only by his titular father Tang Mao, I don't know how Cai Yong would invite a junior. If you don't understand it, you don't want to think about it, and everything will be clear in the evening.
Tang Ji took the invitation from Tang Zheng's hand, looked at it, and then said to Tang Zheng: "Brother, I'm going too." ”
"What are you going to do? Uncle Cai invited your brother, what kind of system do you follow? ”
"I'm just going, I'm going to ask Sister Zhaoji what she asked about today, and she hasn't sent anyone to inform me yet."
"You can't go to you tomorrow Zhao Fei wants to go with your brother tonight, since your Uncle Cai has invited your brother to the invitation, there must be something serious to talk about. What are you going to do, you are not allowed to go! Tang's mother said to Tang Ji.
"Hmph, you don't want me to go, I still want to go. It's not like I haven't been to Cai's house before. Tang Ji muttered, Tang's mother looked at Tang Ji angrily and was about to say something, when Tang Zheng spoke: "Mother, it's okay." Let my little sister go with me. Anyway, Uncle Cai's family is not an outsider, I don't think he will be too careful. ”
Tang's mother pondered for a while before saying, "Since your brother has agreed, then you can go, but the premise is that you must listen to your brother." Don't mess around, or you'll look good when you come back. ”
"I know, I promise to listen to my brother, and I must be a good girl." Tang Ji made a grimace at Tang's mother. Tang's mother can't help this girl, she has been spoiled since she was a child.
In the evening, Tang Zheng took Tang Ji and walked towards Cai's house, Cai's house was not far from Tang's house, and there were two streets in the middle, and the brother and sister arrived in a short time. Tang Zheng handed a greeting note to the family guarding the door, and after taking a look, the family led Tang Zheng and the two brothers and sisters to the Cai Mansion.
