"Brother, is this the end?" Tang Ji, who was following Tang Zheng, asked.

"It's still early, the pig's feet and meat have to be marinated for a while, and only after the marinade is done can you continue the following process."

"Wouldn't it be until the afternoon?" Tang Ji asked.

"yes, what's the problem?" Tang Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Ah, it's nothing, I thought I could eat it at noon."

"How can it be so fast, the more exquisite the food, the longer it will take to prepare."

"Oh, well. I'll just wait. ”

"By the way, Zhang Chao, you can have lunch here today, and you can bring some back for the brothers to taste when they are ready in the afternoon."

"Okay, my subordinates have thanked Gongzi for the brothers."

"Yan'er, you can bring you a little bit back in the future, so that Uncle Cai can also taste it."

"Well, thank you, brother." Cai Yan smiled sweetly at Tang Zheng, now she is no longer as shy about Tang Zheng as she was at the beginning, and now she can face Tang Zheng calmly.

At this time, Tang's mother happened to come out of the house, looking at Tang Zheng and Cai Yan talking and laughing, showing a hint of relief in her heart.

"Mother, why did you come out?" Tang Zheng saw that his mother hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and Cai Yan also followed up and supported Tang's mother with Tang Zheng left and right.

"After lying in bed for a long time, I want to get up and move my body." Tang's mother said to Tang Zheng, and after speaking, she turned to Cai Yan and said to her: "Yan'er, if Zheng'er bullies you, tell me, you see how I teach him." ”

"Well, my aunt and brother didn't bully me." Cai Yan said a little shyly.

"Mother, how do you turn your elbow outward? I'm your own son. ”

"Yan'er is a girl, so if you are a big man, you have to let Yan'er a little more."

Tang Zheng looked at the sky speechlessly, he felt that he had fallen out of favor.

"Well, my brother is going to let a little more girls, such as your sister." Tang Ji coaxed on the side.

"Sister, you have no conscience when you say this, did you say that your brother is not good to you?" Tang Zheng looked at his sister with a distressed look.

Tang Ji thought about it, and En's own brother seemed to be really good to him, so he said: "I mean you have to treat me better in the future, don't forget my sister if you have a sister-in-law." After speaking, he glanced at Cai Yan.

Cai Yan blushed and didn't dare to answer on the side, and Zhang Chao also lowered his head and snickered on the side.

"What are you laughing at? Is it that after arriving in Luoyang, life is leisurely? Tang Zheng looked at Zhang Chao and said.

"Ah, Childe. This one... This..."Zhang Chao was speechless with a bitter face for a moment.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, Zheng'er, you too, don't let people laugh, don't you want others to cry? Let's go, let's go eat. Tang's mother spoke, and then led Cai Yan to the dining room.

Tang Zheng glanced at Zhang Chao, and Zhang Chao looked at Tang Zheng innocently. "Let's go, let's go eat too." Zhang Chao followed Tang Zheng and walked towards the dining room.

"Hey, my brother hasn't cooked in the past two days, and I feel that the quality of my family's meals seems to have dropped by several levels." Tang Ji sighed.

"Didn't you eat as much when your brother wasn't at home? Why have I never heard you complain, and now your brother has only been back for a few days and has been starving you? Mother Tang said to Tang Ji.

"Auntie, you can't blame Sister Tang Ji for this. The food cooked by Brother Shi is really delicious, and I don't think even the imperial chef in the palace can compare. Cai Yan said on the side.

"Well, since Yan'er said that Zheng'er's food is delicious, then let Zheng'er cook the food in the future." Tang Mu said with a smile.

Tang Zheng and Tang Ji glanced at each other, and suddenly had some doubts that they were not born to their mother.

"What, do you brothers and sisters have anything to say?" Tang's mother saw Tang Zheng's brother and sister squeezing their eyebrows on the side, so she asked, and the two brothers and sisters hurriedly shook their heads.

After eating, Tang Zheng accompanied his mother to walk around the yard, and suddenly Tang's mother said to her son: "Okay, Zheng'er, you go out with Yan'er, what do you young people mean by surrounding me as an old woman?" Don't waste time here with my old wife, I'm going back to my room to rest. After Tang's mother finished speaking, she walked to her room with the support of the maid.

Seeing his mother return to the room, Tang Ji immediately said, "Brother, let's go out to play, I'll take you to take a good look at Luoyang." Tang Ji is a master who can't be idle, and when he saw his mother leaving, he immediately said to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng glanced at Cai Yan and saw that she was also excited, so he said, "Okay, let's go out for a walk." So the group went out again under the leadership of Tang Ji.

"Zhang Chao, it seems that we can't go back to Rinshan for the New Year this year, you tell the brothers, if there are brothers who are particularly homesick, let them go back first."

"Yes, Childe, I know. I'll ask when I get back. ”

"I also know that I feel a little homesick after being out for so long. By the way, Zhang Chao, what about you? Homesick? ”

"Childe, I'm the only one in my family now, and I'm where I am." Zhang Chao said in a somewhat depressed mood.

"By the way, I forgot about you. I'm embarrassed to bring up your sadness. ”

"No, if it weren't for the original son's acceptance, I'm afraid there would have been no Zhang Chao in the world now. Zhang Chao's life was given by Gongzi, where Gongzi is, Zhang Chao's home is there. ”

"Well, you are also a big boss, after you go back this time, let's see if there is a suitable girl to settle your marriage first, so that after leaving one for the Zhang family, people like us may be able to explain it on the battlefield at any time. By the way, Zhang Chao, do you regret following me? ”

"Childe, don't regret it, I don't think the brothers regret it, if it wasn't for Childe's take-in, how would everyone be living now."

"Well, since you have given your life to me, I can't let you down. After going back this time, everyone's marriage will be decided. Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao.

"The subordinate brothers have thanked Gongzi for his kindness, but it's better not to involve other people's daughters if we don't know when to kill people who die on the battlefield."

"Don't you know that unfilial piety has three unfilial pieties? Your grandfather has a son, your father has a son, and when you have no son, how will you face your ancestors and ancestors? ”

"Childe, aren't your subordinates afraid that they will be widowed at a young age!"

"Since you are afraid of endangering other girls' widowhoods, you have to work hard to survive on the battlefield." Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao, and then Tang Zheng read out Chen Tao's famous "Longxi Xingqi II" with a slight modification: swear to sweep away Wuhuan without regard for himself, and five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen. Poor watery riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

Cai Yan and Tang Ji, who were walking in front, turned their heads and looked at Tang Zheng with wide eyes, this was the first time they had heard Tang Zheng compose poems. Cai Yan's eyes flashed with a look of admiration, and even Tang Ji's eyes were full of admiration. Zhang Chao was not surprised, and they knew the name of the son as early as when he was in Rinshan.
